You’ll typically need to show at least €11,904 for one year in a blocked account (Sperrkonto) to cover living expenses for your September 2026 intake in Germany.
- Living expenses: €11,904 (required proof for visa, accessed monthly)
- Tuition fees: Most public universities charge little or no tuition, but some states (like Baden-Württemberg) charge about €3,000/year for non-EU students
- Semester fees: Usually €300 - 700/semester
- Health insurance: Around €1,440 - 2,220/year
These figures are typical and subject to change. Actual costs may vary by university, state, and your lifestyle.
