Yes, pursuing Mechanical Engineering in Germany is both feasible and affordable for international students.

- Admission: You typically need a relevant bachelor's degree and strong academics. Most programs require English proficiency (like IELTS), and some may need German language skills, especially if the course is taught in German.
- Tuition fees: Public universities usually charge minimal fees. Typical costs are €1,500 - €6,000/semester for non-EU students, depending on the university. Fees are subject to change.
- Living expenses: Expect €800 - €1,400/month depending on the city, with larger cities costing more.
- Post-study work visa: Graduates can get an 18-month residence permit to seek jobs after finishing their degree.

Germany offers strong engineering programs, low tuition, and good post-study work options, making it a practical choice for this field.
