Many people may have heard that study in Germany for free, especially at public universities. In fact, in 2025, this policy will still exist, but there are details that Thai students should clearly understand.
Public University: Most are tuition-free, but there is a semester fee of around €250–500 per semester.
Private University: Average tuition fees are €5,000–15,000 per year.
Even if the tuition is cheap or free, there are still other costs such as:
Average cost of living: €850–1,000 per month (including accommodation, food, and travel)
Student health insurance: €80–120 per month
