Why study in Germany?
2026–2027 study planning · Sources checked 27 October 2026
Compare German universities at programme level. An English-taught course may still need evidence of particular subject credits, a qualifying first degree or an aptitude assessment. Check whether you apply directly to the university or through a named application service. A successful document check is not an admission offer.

How to check your application route
Many public programmes do not charge general tuition, but semester contributions and exceptions matter. DAAD identifies tuition for many non-EU students in Baden-Württemberg and possible institutional charges in Bavaria. Private courses and some master’s programmes also charge fees. Obtain the actual fee schedule for your nationality and intake instead of treating Germany as cost-free.

COSTS & FUNDING
Plan with confidence
The federal study-visa page lists €11,904 as the blocked-account funding figure for 2026 and also describes scholarship and declaration-of-commitment routes. This is a dated immigration funding benchmark, not a complete budget or a confirmed 2027 figure. The same official page explains study-related work limits and post-study options. Recheck the authority before acting; part-time income should not be your only funding plan.
Build a decision you can afford
Save the course page, fee notice and refund terms for each option. Record the date checked, the currency and whether each charge is due before arrival. Use a conservative plan that still works if a scholarship is not awarded or a part-time job takes longer to find.
For the next intake, use the official call for that specific programme. A 2026 deadline is not evidence of a 2027 deadline. If the next call is not available, prepare documents and ask the admissions office when it expects to publish its notice.

Can I apply for funding?
Check the exact scholarship call for nationality, residence, study level, deadlines and coverage. Record an award as confirmed only after the awarding body makes its decision.
