Is the UK more expensive and difficult for job market compared to Germany?

Yes, the UK is generally more expensive and more challenging for international students in both tuition fees and job market access compared to Germany.

- Tuition fees: UK universities typically charge £12,000 - £35,000/year, while many German public universities have little to no tuition, only semester contributions. - Living costs: The UK, especially London, has higher living expenses than most German cities. - Job market: The UK is becoming more competitive, with stricter employer sponsorship and a reduced Graduate Route visa (18 months from 2027). Germany offers an 18-month job seeker visa after graduation and has strong demand in fields like engineering and IT, especially if you know German.

Germany is usually more affordable and offers better job prospects for international students, particularly if you are open to learning German.
