Are there any universities in Germany which offers free master degree education for international students?

Question

Free education for master degree or inexpensive tuition?

Can you name any of those universities?

Answer 1

If you speak German, most universities offer free or inexpensive college education, and international students are admitted.  Fachhochschule Pforzheim, between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, offers an International Business certificate program with classes in English.  It also offers a standard MBA program (as well as other program) with most classes in German.

Answer 2

As far as I know there is no University in Germany that offers free Master degrees, except for you have studied there from the first semster, however in comparison to many other countries tuition is not that high as we just started to charge at all, if you speak German you should be able to staudy at any university, if not you need to look for international studies, I have studied international business in Dresden (www.htw-dresden.de) check the page they have all the fees online, ask me for help if you need

I left uni in 2003, at this time studying for a masters degree was still free.

I was at the Uni of Tübingen living in a student dorm. Several of the people living on the same flor where intenational students doing their masters in Hydrogeography - completely for free and a few of them on a scholarship from the DAAD (450 EUR a month then) see http://www.daad.de. The course was taught completely in English.

There are nowadays several universities that have masters degrees taught in English, I am sure you'll be able to find one. (www.uni-magdeburg.de is one of them.)The DAAD also still exists and will hand out scholarships to gifted international students. As to student fees - I don't know anything about them. (They are a recent addition to German student life.) But if you found a course that interests you, why don't you write to the university to inquire about this?

Be warned though, that even if the course is free, you will still be asked to support yourself during your stay out of your savings or you will be asked by the German government to leave the country. A non-EU student will be given a limited work permit to supplement hir income by working for 90 days fulltime or 180 days parttime. A EU student will not require a work permit, but will instead be subject to the same student labour restrictions the Germans are under - also working only part-time during the whole year or fully during the semester breaks.

Yet anyway you turn it, most part-time jobs will not cover the roughly 500-700 EUR per month you need at mimimum to cover your cost of living in Germany.

Hope I helped.
