FREE TUITION UNIVERSITIES IN GERMANY: COST OF LIVING, VISA APPLICATION AND ADMISSION DEADLINE

GERMAN EDUCATION IS AS GOOD AS THEIR FOOTBALL– CONGRATULATIONS GERMANY ON A WELL DESERVED WORLD CUP GLORY!
Study Abroad 365 has put together a list of 25 universities in Germany that are tuition free for international students seeking to study in Germany. However, be informed that while studying in Germany, you’ll be required to finance your feeding and accommodation expenses. International students should budget roughly 500 Euros for their books, healthcare, food and registration. So in one year, an international student should expect to spend 7000 Euros on feeding, accommodation and books expenses.
HOW TO OBTAIN A VISA
To obtain a German visa, you’ll have to show concrete finance proof of your ability to finance your accommodation and feeding expenses during your time of study. This can be done in either of two ways:
(1) Submit a letter of finances to the German consulate or embassy. You can obtain this sponsor letter from your parents or a German relative who is willing to sponsor your studies in Germany.
(2) Open a German blocked account and deposit roughly 7000 euro. This can only happen once you’ve received your letter of admission. This blocked account is opened in the German embassy.
For more information, visit a German consulate in your home country or check out their websites for further details.

Hi Hameed, we don't have much

Hi Hameed, we don't have much information on current reseach in this field, but we've just published an article about how to study new technologies with a section on cyber security and networking near the end which might be useful! Laura :)

Hi. I am Hemant I wanted know

Hi. I am Hemant I wanted know that does the German universities accept for bachelor program without IELTS
And also provide free education.
because see I am belongs from middle class family and not able to give IELTS exam and also not able to submit that much amount of fees because of lack of money. So could please suggest me any kind of university in Germany that will full fill mine dream please.

Hi Hemant, I'm afraid that if

Hi Hemant, I'm afraid that if you want to study at a reputed university, you'll almost certainly have to submit proof of proficiency in either English or German. The IELTS test is one of the most popular ways to prove proficiency in English, but the TOEFL test is also widely accepted. Fees range from US$140-250 and differ depending on where in the world you take the test - for instance, test fees for India tend to be on the lower end of the scale. I understand you're looking for the cheapest way to study, but language tests are used to ensure all students will be able to understand and contribute to their university program so they're quite important! Tuition fees at undergraduate level however are completely free! For more info on studying in Germany, see our Study in Germany FAQ. Laura :)

I'm an 11th science ISC board

I'm an 11th science ISC board student in India with a score of 90% in 10th board exams, and an expected score of around or above 85% in the 12 boards examinations. I also have many certificates of national Olympiads with consistent ranking below 100 at all India level where thousands of students compete. I have been consistently scoring 95+ marks computer subject sine years.
I wish to do my undergraduate studies in Germany in computer science field in one of the best universities like TUM, Aachen ,etc. ..
Can I know what are my chances of admission in good German universities?
Also, I would like to know if I can get a small job or internship there as an undergraduate to partially or wholly cover my living expenses.

Hi Akash, if you've not yet

Hi Akash, if you've not yet looked at our subject ranking of the world's top universities for computer science this will help you find the names of top german universities in your field (you can filter the results by country). Your academic history looks promising for admission, but you should also bear in mind that the majority of programs at undergraduate level are taught in German. For more information on admissions, language tests, part-time work while studying and more, see our Study in Germany FAQ (particularly question 4 and 12) and our article on Studying in Germany in English. Good luck! Laura

I wanted to know if I'll be

I wanted to know if I'll be given admission before attending the studienkolleg(I heard it's mandatory for Indians because of our 12 year school) because I don't want to end up without admission even after attending the studienkolleg preparatory course. And also, I wanted to know if its difficult or easy for me pass the feststellungsprufung without prior preparation in Germany considering I'm an Indian student where school courses are very tough compared to other countries. This is because wasting a whole year isn't what I would prefer before attending a German university.

Ah I see, so, even if you

Ah I see, so, even if you attend a studienkolleg and get your feststellungsprufung qualification, there is no guarantee that you'll be accepted into a university afterwards. Despite this, depending on the studienkolleg, admissions advisors are often available to ensure you make the best application you possibly can. As the prep course is a full-time course (32 hours a week - up to 2 semesters) dedicated to getting you up to bachelor-level standard, passing the course should be fairly straightforward. Specific information on course difficulty and the types of educational support you can recieve will be available on your chosen studienkolleg's website.

Some knowledge of German is needed to attend a studienkolleg (B1) and further development of your German skills during the course will significantly improve your chances of finding a university after gaining the feststellungsprufung.

If you are serious about studying in Germany and learning the language, finding a university to accept you shouldn't be difficult. If you'd rather study in English, there are fewer programs available but it still shouldn't be impossible to find a program if your academic history is strong enough.

Hi Itunu, I'm afraid this is

Hi Itunu, I'm afraid this is an area we don't yet have much information on. In our article of Top Film Schools Around the World there is just one German school in the list - Munich Film School. To find more film schools, take a look here. I can't vouch for the reputation of these schools, but if you conduct your own online research you should be able to find a reputed school offering a master's program in your area. It may be harder to find English instruction but definitely not impossible! Good luck, Laura
