German education is rich and certificates are highly regarded globally. Education is essentially free if taught in German. It is gaining traction among students for two reasons (1) If you are able to pay the first fees to head to Germany, the rest is not cost intensive especially for undergraduate students, (2) Recently the German government freed up on immigration allowing new routes to work with easy access to those who studied in Germany. This has seen an uptick in enquiries and applications and especially number of students arriving to start their studies in Germany.
Private Education
These education providers charge tuition fees, but are still largely lower than similar providers in English speaking countries. First year of tuition and living expenses must be paid upfront (tuition to school and living cost into a blocked account). The upfront cost if available will ease access to these type of education. We must let you know that these sector is highly regulated and you can vouch for their quality.
Please note that Students bear the cost of their medical insurance.
Public Education
These are government education providers. Many of them offer tuition free of cost or at a very low cost, or only charges for specific modules while rest are taught free of cost. These teach all their courses in German except some modules that can be taught in either German or English or other European languages. Students must bear the cost of their medical insurance. Students are not accepted with no knowledge of German language so it is important that you learn German in your home country before
travelling to Germany or first enrol at a language school in Germany.
Language Schools
These usually bridge the gap in language deficiency by teaching international students to a level of proficiency required by Universities in Germany. The enrolment here will end with appropriate certificates. During study here, most students will finalise their admissions and decide which University to attend.

Working as a Student
Like in most EU countries, you are allowed up to 20 hours of work per week provided it is not impacting on your attendance and performance. After education there are now ways of staying officially in Germany to work. Please ask us at the time of your admission. Usually it is applied for and we are not in a position to determine the outcome of your application. But due to shortage of skilled workers German government made it possible to consider applications from suitably qualified candidates for work Visas based on set of requirements.
