Germany
Germany is one of the best countries to study abroad. It offers a unique combination of great universities and high quality of life, and rivals other popular destinations such as the United Kingdom or Holland. Germany is the fourth most popular destination among international students in the world.
More than thirteen per cent of students at German universities in 2018 came from all over the world. Germany is an attractive place to study and German university degrees are highly respected by employers worldwide.
Public Universities in Germany are tuition-free for citizens and international students from all over the world. Though not a prerequisite, to increase chances of securing admission in any of these public universities, having a German language skill to either level B2 or C1 is recommended. Germany offers a wide range of programs such as Engineering, Medicine, Architecture, or Business.
A Bachelor’s degree takes 3 years to complete, and these are the most common undergraduate degrees. For postgraduate studies, an MA or MSc (Master of
Arts / Master of Science) will take two-four semesters (one-two years) and a PhD. (Doctor of Philosophy) will last four-six semesters (two-three years).

Employment
Students coming from outside of EU member states are only allowed to work 240 half days or 120 full days per year, either in term or during vacations. If you find work as a student assistant, then the 120-day rule does not apply to you. This is because there are no limitations to jobs at the university. However, you will have to inform the foreigners’ registration office if you want to work more hours. Work placements count as “regular work” whether they are paid or not.
So, the time you spend on a work placement will be deducted from your limit. You can work more hours if the work placement is mandatory and required by your study regulations. International students coming from EU member states, including Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland, are allowed to work 20 hours per week during term times.
After completing your studies in Germany as an international student, you’re able to apply for a residence permit to stay in the country and seek work for an
additional period of 18 months. If you gain work in Germany within this time you should make sure that you extend your visa, residence, or work permit to
ensure you are living in the country legally.
