Stuttgart is the capital and largest city of Baden-Württemberg in south-west Germany, and the sixth-largest city in the country as a whole.
Stuttgart is far more than just an industrial city and, as its tourist slogan says, the city ‘offers more’. The cityscape is made up of a range of hills, some of which have vineyards, as well as parks and valleys.

To find out how each of the above categories is calculated, view the methodology.
Why study in Stuttgart?
Lots of green spaces
The city’s many parks are dotted with beer gardens and restaurants.
The natural hot springs
Relaxing in one of the city’s hot mineral springs is a favourite pastime among students.
The culture
Live music performances run almost nightly and the city is becoming a highly sought-after destination for those working in the performing arts. The city also has farmers’ markets, Michelin star restaurants and a summer festival.
Cost of studying in Stuttgart
Unfortunately, universities in Baden-Württemberg recently re-introduced tuition fees for non-EU students – however the new fees are still far lower than you’d pay in study destinations such as the UK or US. The average international student will have to pay $4,100 a year in tuition.
Life & culture in Stuttgart
Fantastic views of the city and surrounding area can be had at the viewing platform at the TV Tower, and there are many landmarks to explore in and out of Stuttgart, such as Ludwigsburg Palace, Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Garden and the Württemberg Mausoleum.
Stuttgart also has a rich cultural heritage with concert halls, sports arenas and Broadway-style musical theatres dotted around the city. It also hosts the world-famous annual Cannstatter Volksfest, a beer festival and traveling funfair, second only in size to Munich’s Oktoberfest.
Stuttgart is one of Germany’s strongest industrial regions, making it an ideal choice for engineering and technology students who may wish to stay and work in Germany after their studies.
Stuttgart is known as the ‘cradle of the automobile’ due to its key role in the development and manufacture of cars, and many major companies have their headquarters here, such as Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler AG, and Dinkelacker.
