Will you consider universities in Hungary as well because the living cost is lower there compared to Germany?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Edayachandiran Velmurugan · 1 min read
Yes, Hungary is a cost-effective alternative to Germany for international students, mainly due to lower living expenses.
- Hungary living costs: €450 - €750/month, depending on city and lifestyle.
- Germany living costs: €850 - €1,200/month.
- Hungary tuition fees: €1,500 - €8,000/year for most programs.
- Germany tuition: Often minimal at public universities, but you must show proof of funds (about €11,904) for living expenses.
If reducing living expenses is your main concern, Hungary is a strong option to consider. If you want to explore Hungarian universities further, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
