Universities in Germany are now free of tuition fees for all
including international students. Yesterday, Lower Saxony became the
last of seven German states to abolish their tuition fees, which were
already extremely low. An increasing number of Americans are
taking advantage and saving tens of thousands of dollars to get their
degrees.
German universities had been charging for tuition since 2006. The
measure proved unpopular, and German states began dropping them one by
one. It is now all gone throughout the country, even for foreigners.
This means that now, both domestic and international undergraduate
students at public universities in Germany are able to study in Germany
for free, with just a small fee to cover administration– usually between
€150 and €250 (US$170-280) – and other living expenses costs per
semester (food, transport, accommodation, entertainment, course
materials and other necessities).
