Germany is a strong option for your Master's, offering scholarships and moderate living costs suitable for students with families.

- Tuition fees: Most public universities in Germany charge no tuition for international students, only a semester fee of about €200 - €400.
- Living expenses: Expect €800 - €1,200/month, covering accommodation, food, health insurance, transport, and other costs.
- Scholarships: Options like the Deutschlandstipendium (€300/month), DAAD scholarships (with possible family allowances), and university-specific awards can help with expenses.
- Family visas: Germany allows students to bring spouses and children, but you must show sufficient funds to support your family.
