Yes, you can pursue an MBA at a public university in Germany on a low budget.

Most public universities charge minimal or no tuition fees for MBA programs. Instead, you’ll typically pay a semester contribution of about €200 - €500/semester. Some states, like Baden-Württemberg, require non-EU students to pay around €1,500/semester in tuition - this is subject to change.

Plan for living expenses of roughly €900 - €1,200/month, depending on the city.

Admission is competitive and English-taught programs may be limited. Review each university’s requirements carefully.
