Germany is generally more affordable for MSc studies compared to the UK.

- UK: Tuition fees for international MSc students usually range from £15,000 - £35,000/year. Living expenses are about £1,483/month in London or £1,136/month in other cities. Additional costs include a visa fee (~£490) and Immigration Health Surcharge (~£470/year). Total annual budget: £33,000 - £52,000 (subject to change).

- Germany: Most public universities charge no tuition fees; only a semester contribution of €150 - €400/semester applies. Living costs are typically €850 - €1,200/month. You must show proof of about €11,904/year for a student visa. Total annual budget: €12,000 - €18,000 (subject to change).
