Why have you chosen Germany for your masters? Is it because the tuition fees are lower?

Yes, lower tuition fees are a major reason many students choose Germany for their master's. Most public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees for master's programs - only a semester contribution of about €150 - €350, which also covers administrative costs and sometimes public transport.

In addition to affordability, Germany offers high academic standards, many English-taught programs, strong research opportunities, and an 18-month post-study work visa (PSW) for international work experience. Living costs are also reasonable, especially outside major cities.

Overall, Germany stands out for its combination of quality education, low costs, and good career prospects.
