About JGU
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) — public non-profit university. It is located in Mainz, Germany. JGU was founded in 1477, which makes it one of the oldest institutions in the country. JGU is working closely with European University Association (EUA).
The university is among the top-460 best institutions in the word, according to QS International Ranking. The university is in top-250 of the independent international ranking THE.
JGU does research in different fields of study and offers bachelor and master programs.
As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at JGU is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Education at JGU is free for everyone. However, students must pay a semester fee — 640 USD per year. The educational institution helps with tuition fees through financial support programs. They are available to local and international students. The cost of education and the availability of scholarships can be checked on the official website.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.
You cannot enter a German university after the 11th grade, because schooling there lasts longer than 11 years. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference. To do this, foreign students go through a preparatory year in special educational institutions — Studienkollegs. Before applying, you need to pass the TOEFL exam. The TOEFL score is not lower than 85.

JGU campus
The campus of the educational institution is suburban. It combines the features of a rural and urban campus. Students live separately from the city and create a close-knit community. At the same time, they are not very far from the city and have access not only to urban entertainment, such as cinemas and restaurants, but also to outdoor activities. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Not only locals study at JGU, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
To stay in Germany after graduation for another 18 months, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without an offer from an employer. Graduates of JGU find jobs without difficulty. One of the reasons is the good reputation of the university among employers, according to the results of the QS ranking.
