When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.
Schooling in Germany lasts longer than in other countries. Therefore, it is impossible to enter a university immediately after the 11th grade — first, you need to eliminate the academic difference. There are special educational institutions for foreign students — Studienkollegs. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS or TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score is 6. The TOEFL score is not lower than 79.

HFU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Furtwangen im Schwarzwald. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. Thanks to international exchange programs at HFU, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
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. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
