Germany
Germany is home to some of the world's oldest and most respected universities, offering thousands of English-taught programmes across engineering, business, and the sciences — most at little or no tuition cost, even for international students.
Beyond academics, students enjoy Germany's central European location, extensive rail network, rich cultural life, and one of the strongest graduate job markets in the EU for STEM and business disciplines.
What Our Clients Say
Thank you Can Axis for guidance and giving me helpful advice to migrate to my favourite destination country. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate immigration assistance.
I had a great experience with Can Axis Immigration. Thank you to the entire team for your support — I am so happy to have received my visa. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey.
I tried a lot of agencies that process visas, and a lot of them provided unnecessary information — it was a real struggle. Not until I spoke with the Can Axis team, they were of great help.
Everything You Need to Know
A blocked account (Sperrkonto) holds a set amount of funds to prove you can support yourself in Germany. A fixed monthly amount is released to you each month while you study.
Yes. International students can work up to 140 full days or 280 half days per calendar year without needing separate work permit approval.
Not necessarily — many Master's programmes, and a growing number of Bachelor's programmes, are taught entirely in English, though basic German helps with daily life and part-time work.
Graduates can apply for an 18-month residence permit to search for a job matching their qualification, after which they can transition to a work permit or EU Blue Card.
Most German public universities do not charge tuition fees for Bachelor's and many Master's programmes, though a modest semester contribution (covering administration and transport) still applies.
