16 states in Germany in the year 2014 put to an end to tuition fees for undergraduate students in all public German universities. This implies that at the moment undergraduates at public universities in Germany both domestic and international do not have to pay for their studies except a semester fee of around 200 euro.
Private institutions take exceptions to this as they depend on tuition fees for their funding; their fees can be as high as €20,000 a year (~US$24,400).
On the same note, Master’s degree at German universities are often free when they are regarded as “consecutive” – this means they follow directly from a related bachelor’s degree gained in Germany. Aside from this, there is a small fee per semester for enrolment.
There are courses that are taught in German and they require students to have a German language certificate from reputable awarding bodies while many courses in English require the Exam test certificate like TOEFL and IELTS. There are however exceptions to these requirements.
The DAAD scholarships remain the best for German and international students of all levels to study in German universities. Researchers also benefit from scholarships.
