Tell me about the cost of studying in Germany. And the situation and income of working?

At present, five of Germany 16 federal states have decided to levy tuition fees, five are against it, four are still waiting to see, and the other two federal states have implemented the "third way". The first federal states to charge tuition fees will charge each student about 500 euros from the winter semester of 2006/2007. Moreover, colleges in some States are currently free of charge, such as Thuringia, Saxony, Berlin and so on. In almost all regions, the maximum tuition fee per semester is limited to 500 euros.

In fact, you don't have to worry too much about the cost, because studying in Germany is completely self-sufficient. The government allows college students to work tax-free and has set a protective minimum compensation standard. Registered international students have 90 full-day or 180 half-day working hours every year, and the income from work can basically maintain the normal expenses during their study in Germany. International students in Germany can enjoy the same welfare benefits as domestic students such as housing, transportation, insurance and medical care. Moreover, the guarantee money you deposited in the German bank before, with a monthly limit of 500 euros, can be used as the living expenses of students and other expenses.

In this way, the cost of studying abroad is only1/5-110 of other European and American countries. The total cost is about 50,000-70,000 RMB (excluding the self-insurance premium of 7,220 Euros), and there will be no cost in the future, because three months of legal employment can basically meet the daily expenses in Germany.

While studying in Germany, foreign students can work even without a work permit. However, citizens of non-EU countries and citizens who have recently joined the EU and other countries are restricted. Without a work permit, they can work for 90 days or 180 half a day a year. In some federal states, state labor bureaus require foreign students to work during holidays. With the consent of the local labor bureau, the Aliens Administration may approve extra work per week 10 hour. Students from EU countries can work without restrictions of principle and time (except Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Hungary). In addition, students from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland can also work without restrictions.

In Germany, employers of many companies and enterprises prefer to hire foreign students to work. There is a simple reason. If the students work less than 19.5 hours per week, the employer only needs to pay part of the social expenses to the local government. In other words, students are cheaper than "normal" employees. However, if international students only do ordinary time jobs, such as working in pubs, being pizza deliveryman or cleaner, it is difficult for them to bear all the expenses during their study. Because the average hourly wage here is 8 to 10 euros per hour. For those international students with professional knowledge and work experience, such as programming major in IT field, the salary is higher. However, full-time work often affects the daily study of international students.

For foreign students who have just arrived in Germany, the local university management office in Germany will provide help in finding a job. It is very meaningful to go to the employment agency of college students of the local labor bureau for consultation. Such institutions are often located directly in the office of the college student management office, which is more convenient for international students who have just arrived in Germany.
