The minimum budget for a Master's in Architecture in Germany at a public university is typically €27,000 - €31,000 (about ₹24 - 28 lakh) for the full two-year program, subject to change.

This estimate covers:
- Semester fees: €150 - 350/semester (no tuition at most public universities)
- Living expenses: around €920/month (accommodation, food, insurance)
- Blocked account: about €11,904 (required for visa, released monthly)

Private universities cost more, with total expenses reaching €35,000 - €45,000 (₹31 - 40 lakh).

Scholarships like those from DAAD may help reduce your costs.
