| Costs of Graduate Education | Costs for graduatye education in Germany are relatively low through government financial support of universities.
While there are no tuition fees, students have to pay a social tax and obligatory health insurance. In different states costs vary but mostly they are approximately €100. Consequently, graduate study in Germany is less expensive than in other countries.
The cost of living is different and depends on the city a student live in. Accommodation is comparatively expensive in Germany as it is common for Germans to spend half of their income on rent. On-campus accommodation is usually obtainable for students and less costly than other alternatives. Campus-Germany estimates that students in Germany need €660 a month to keep up a modest standard of living.
The Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) proposes some financial supporting opportunities to younger international graduates looking to study in German.
The German Academic Exchange Board offers up to six scholarships for graduate students. All students may contact the German institution they are intended to apply, as it may be useful source of funding information. Internet is also worthwhile to uncover other options for financing student’s study.
