This is also divided into school types. In Germany, public universities usually do not charge tuition fees for students studying for the first degree and master's courses, but only charge management fees represented by registration fees, which is also the origin of the misunderstanding that tuition fees are free in Germany. However, some federal states charge tuition fees for students studying for a second degree or long-term study, and some specific master's courses also charge fees. All private universities will charge higher tuition fees.

At present, there are about 100 private universities recognized by the German state, accounting for 20% of the number of German universities. Learning non-academic education, such as language courses and preparatory courses, requires fees. There are few free language courses, not free preparatory courses, and the cost is very high.

But it's hard to say. German public universities basically have zero tuition fees. German public universities are free of tuition fees, and even incidental fees (called registration fees in Germany) are very small, usually about 100 euros per semester (about RMB 1000 yuan). Although many universities in Germany began to collect extra-curricular tuition fees in 2004, it was mainly aimed at students who refused to graduate on campus. China students can basically complete their studies within the prescribed academic system (generally 12- 13 semester), so don't worry.

In addition, the low cost of studying in Germany is also reflected in daily life. In terms of transportation, the registration fee paid by students each semester includes all public transportation costs in the city where the university is located. In some states, it even includes train tickets to and from nearby cities. In addition, college students can also buy discount tickets (generally limited to under 26 years old). In terms of accommodation, universities in most cities in Germany provide student dormitories, which are subsidized by the state. Students only need between 100-200 euros per month. Hu Dan pointed out that it should be noted that due to the large number of international students, university dormitories are often in short supply, so applications must be registered in advance.

In terms of "eating", German universities have canteens, which are cheap and good, generally about 2 euros per meal. Generally speaking, the average monthly living expenses are about 600 euros, including 200 euros for rent, 50 euros for medical insurance, 50 euros for transportation (mainly for travel expenses), 40 euros for books and stationery, 65,438+050 euros for meals, and other expenses such as telephone (Internet access), leisure and social interaction.
