Study in Germany: low-cost degrees and a real path to residency

From university shortlisting to the job-seeker visa after graduation, UniHunt supports your entire Germany journey, including the language milestone many agencies gloss over.

Germany at a glance

  • Tuition: many public universities charge little to no tuition, aside from a modest per-semester administrative fee
  • Work while studying: up to 140 full days or 280 half days a year without a separate work permit, roughly 20 hours a week on average, full time during semester breaks
  • Post-study: an 18-month job-seeker visa after graduation, with unrestricted work rights during that window
  • Path to residency: many graduates move from student status to an EU Blue Card once they secure a qualifying job offer
  • Language: B2 German is typically required for the job-seeker and employment stage, even when the degree itself is taught in English

Work rights and visa rules are subject to change under German immigration policy. Please confirm current regulations with your advisor.

Up to 18 months on the post-study job-seeker visa, with unrestricted work rights during that window. Timelines are subject to current German immigration policy.

Roughly 20 hours a week on average, based on 140 full days or 280 half days a year, and full time during semester breaks.

Many public universities charge little to no tuition, only a modest per-semester administrative fee. You still need to show living costs through a blocked account for your visa.
