Studying in Germany: tuition, language and application basics

Germany is known for its public universities, but rules differ by state and by programme.

• Many public universities charge low or no tuition for many programmes, but check the policy of your state and programme.
• Programmes are taught in German or English, and German language skills may be required.
• Many universities process applications through uni-assist, so check the university page.
• Students need to show proof of finances for the visa, for example through a blocked account. Check the current rules.
