Overview
Germany is one of the best places for affordable higher education, with no tuition at most public universities and strong courses in engineering, medicine, business and IT. The German government also offers generous scholarships, so a Bangladeshi student can study without spending very much. Indian students are the largest source of international students in Germany, making up about 12% of the international student population.
Tuition Fees
Most public universities charge no tuition — only a semester contribution of about €100–€350. Exceptions are Baden-Württemberg, which charges EUR 1,500 a semester for non-EU students, and TUM, which charges tuition. Private universities typically charge €5,000–€20,000 a year for Bachelor’s programmes (DAAD, 2025); Master’s programmes at private universities commonly run €10,000–€40,000 a year.
Living Cost
Students need a blocked account of €11,904 in 2026 for the full year of study.
Student Visa
The student visa application fee is €75 (about BDT 10,125). No APS certificate applies for Bangladeshi citizens. A work permit is required while a student visa is being processed, and the stay-back period is 18 months. (Sources: DAAD, German Embassy Dhaka.)
