What is the financial requirement to study MS or BA in Germany for a Master's/Bachelor's?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Swathi Boppana · 1 min read
You must show proof of funds for about €11,904/year (about €992/month) to cover living expenses for a Master's (MS) or Bachelor's (BA) in Germany. This is usually placed in a blocked account (Sperrkonto) before your visa application.
- Public universities: No tuition fees, but expect a semester contribution of €100 - €400/semester.
- Private universities: Tuition is typically €5,000 - €20,000/year, plus living expenses.
These amounts are subject to change and are required for your student visa.
