01 Why this destination
What sets Germany apart for international students, at a glance.
02 Overview
Germany combines three things that rarely come together: tuition-free public universities, globally ranked technical institutions, and a labour market that actively wants graduates to stay.
The federal statistics office counted around 405,000 international students in the 2024/25 winter semester, which makes Germany the most popular non-English-speaking destination in the world and the third most popular overall.
