Can you send me the fee details so I can talk to my parents and decide when to proceed in Germany for a Master's?

Here’s a clear summary of typical fees and expenses for a Master's program in Germany (February 2028 intake):

- Public universities: No tuition fees for most programs. Semester contribution is about €100 - €400/semester (covers admin costs, sometimes public transport).
- Baden-Württemberg exception: Non-EU students pay about €1,500/semester tuition plus the semester contribution.
- Private universities: Tuition is typically €8,000 - €20,000/year.
- Living expenses: Budget €900 - €1,200/month for accommodation, food, insurance, and personal costs.
- Blocked account (visa requirement): Must show proof of about €11,904/year for living expenses.
- Health insurance: Mandatory, around €110/month.
- Other costs: Visa fee (~€75), flights (€500 - €900), exam fees (IELTS, etc.), document attestation.

Estimated total first-year budget:
- Public university: €14,500 - €16,000 (including all above costs)
- Private university: Tuition plus living and other expenses (total varies by program)
