Germany · no tuition fee
1,186 degrees that cost nothing to study.
German public universities charge no tuition — to Germans and to international students alike. Every programme below has a published tuition figure of zero, read from an official source.
No tuition is not no cost. Expect a semester contribution of roughly €150–350, plus rent, health insurance and living costs — and a student visa requires proof you can cover them.
