FREE TUITION UNIVERSITIES IN GERMANY: COST OF LIVING, VISA APPLICATION AND ADMISSION DEADLINE

GERMAN EDUCATION IS AS GOOD AS THEIR FOOTBALL– CONGRATULATIONS GERMANY ON A WELL DESERVED WORLD CUP GLORY!
Study Abroad 365 has put together a list of 25 universities in Germany that are tuition free for international students seeking to study in Germany. However, be informed that while studying in Germany, you’ll be required to finance your feeding and accommodation expenses. International students should budget roughly 500 Euros for their books, healthcare, food and registration. So in one year, an international student should expect to spend 7000 Euros on feeding, accommodation and books expenses.
HOW TO OBTAIN A VISA
To obtain a German visa, you’ll have to show concrete finance proof of your ability to finance your accommodation and feeding expenses during your time of study. This can be done in either of two ways:
(1) Submit a letter of finances to the German consulate or embassy. You can obtain this sponsor letter from your parents or a German relative who is willing to sponsor your studies in Germany.
(2) Open a German blocked account and deposit roughly 7000 euro. This can only happen once you’ve received your letter of admission. This blocked account is opened in the German embassy.
For more information, visit a German consulate in your home country or check out their websites for further details.
Hi there,
I am a Canadian currently living in Holland and I have a working visa for the next 5 years. Would I have to apply for a new visa if I want to go to university in Germany or does my Holland visa work all throughout Europe?
Hi Shauna, as a Canadian you do not need to apply for a student visa to study in Germany but you do need to have been accepted into an accredited German university and you'll need to apply for residency within two weeks of entering the country. If you want to move to Germany before enrolling on a course, you may be interested in applying for the 'student applicant visa' which allows for a three-month stay before you have to enrol. More information can be found here.

Hi Adeed, I'm afraid you'll have to check with each German university directly, as entry requirements differ and exemption is likely to vary. To find the best german universities in this faculty however, you can look here - https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/faculty-rankings/engineering-and-technology/2014#sorting=rank+region=+country=162+faculty=+stars=false+search=
Hi Adeed. This will usually depend on whether you completed your bachelor's degree in Germany. If you did, the master's degree would usually be free of charge, but if not, then tuition fees may apply.
Hi Hassan. At undergraduate level, there are no tuition fees in Germany. In the UK, fees charged to international students vary depending on the university and the course. You can find out more about the costs of studying in Germany here, and the UK here.

Hi Shahzad, yes, if accepted onto a program, you would be able to study your bachelor's degree in Germany free of charge. First you'll need to find a university - for a look at some of the leading universities in Germany for social sciences and management, visit this page. Secondly, you should research which universities offer a program you're interested in (visit each university's own site for this). You can also find out specific application deadlines on these university websites but generally the winter deadline is around mid-January (so you may still have time to apply for summer admission!)
For more general information on studying in Germany, visit this page or, alternatively, visit the DAAD site.
