Application and Enrolment

For applicants from abroad, the path to a university abroad is more complicated than to a university in their own home country. That's why we provide you with comprehensive support in the application and enrolment process.

Fees and Funding

In Germany, universities are strongly supported financially by the state or the federal states. Therefore, studying in Germany is relatively inexpensive despite the high standards.
