What is the budget required including accommodation and visa for studying in Germany?
04 Jun 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
For international students, studying in Germany is affordable, especially at public universities with little or no tuition. You should budget around €13,000-€17,000 per year in most cities, which covers accommodation, living costs, visa, and health insurance. Some states or private universities may have higher tuition, and living costs will vary by city. Be sure to check your chosen university’s requirements and local costs for a more accurate estimate.
