What Is the Total Cost of Study in Germany for Indian Students?

The total cost of studying in Germany for Indian students can vary depending on the university, course type, and the city you live in. For undergraduate students at public universities, tuition fees are usually waived, and you only need to pay a semester contribution of about €100 to €300, which often includes public transport and administrative charges.

For postgraduate programs, some universities may charge tuition fees ranging from €3,000 to €4,000 per year.

The cost of living—including accommodation, food, transport, and health insurance—typically ranges between €800 to €1,000 per month. So, over a year, you can expect total expenses (excluding postgraduate tuition) to be around €10,000 to €15,000.

Here’s a quick overview:

These costs can slightly vary depending on the city (e.g., Munich and Frankfurt are more expensive than Leipzig or Dresden) and your personal lifestyle.
