Yes — most German public universities charge no tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including for international students. You typically pay only a semester contribution of €150–€350 which covers administration and often a public transport pass. A handful of state universities (e.g. Baden-Württemberg) charge non-EU students up to €3,000/year, but the vast majority are free. Private universities do charge tuition.

The APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate is a mandatory document verification process for Indian students applying to German universities. You must submit your academic documents to the APS office in New Delhi or Mumbai for verification. The process takes 4–6 weeks and costs around €75. Without an APS certificate, most German universities will not process your application and the German embassy will not issue a student visa. Our team guides you through the full APS process.

A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a German bank account where you deposit a fixed amount before arriving in Germany to prove you can support yourself financially. The German government requires a minimum of €11,208 per year (€934/month) deposited in a blocked account. Each month, that amount is released to you. Popular providers include Fintiba, Deutsche Bank and Coracle. Our counsellors assist you in opening the blocked account well ahead of your visa appointment.

Yes — international students in Germany can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year without a work permit. This allows part-time and student jobs (Werkstudent positions) alongside your studies. Germany's strong economy and high wages make part-time work a practical way to supplement living costs. Working beyond the limit requires prior approval from the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit).

After completing your degree, Germany offers an 18-month job-seeker visa to find skilled employment in Germany. With a chronic shortage of engineers and IT professionals, Indian graduates are highly sought after by German employers. Once you secure a job, you can convert to a work residence permit. Germany is actively seeking skilled workers across engineering, IT, healthcare and sciences.
