Yes, Germany is typically more affordable than Italy for master's programs in architecture.

- Germany: Most public universities charge no tuition fees; only a semester contribution of €150 - €350. In Baden-Württemberg, non-EU students pay €1,500/semester (subject to change).
- Italy: Tuition varies by institution. For example, Politecnico di Milano charges €3,900/year. Some private institutions may charge €12,500 - €22,300/year (subject to change).

Based on current tuition fees, Germany is generally the more cost-effective option for studying architecture at the master's level.
