Can you help me decide which country to choose for my masters given the many options available?
Germany is generally the better choice for a master's if you want low tuition fees and a wide range of English-taught programs, especially in STEM fields. Italy is a strong option if you’re interested in arts, design, or business, and offers a rich cultural experience.
- Germany: Low or no tuition at public universities (typical semester fees €150 - €350), many English-taught programs, and an 18-month post-study work (PSW) visa.
- Italy: Tuition usually €3,000 - €12,000/year, good English-taught options in business and design, and a 2-year PSW visa.
Both countries align well with your academic background and future plans.
