Germany can be an affordable study destination, but actual costs depend on the university, federal state, program, city, accommodation and personal lifestyle.
Many state universities do not charge regular tuition, but this is not universal. Students must check the official program page for tuition and pay a semester contribution, which may include a local or regional public-transport ticket.

Student-visa applicants must show sufficient financial resources. A blocked account is one accepted method and currently requires €11,904 for one year, with €992 available per month. Depending on the case, other accepted proof may include a recognised scholarship or a formal declaration of commitment.
Part-time income is not guaranteed and depends on the job, working hours, hourly pay, tax and social-security rules. Students should not rely on part-time employment to finance their complete stay or replace the required visa financial proof.
Uni-Assist currently charges €75 for the first chosen course in one semester and €30 for each additional chosen course in that semester. Some universities cover these charges. Also budget for translations, certified copies, visa services, travel and any university-specific application or enrolment costs.
