Universities and colleges

How we chose these

Public universities are grouped by the university group they belong to. We show the universities whose tuition fees we could read on an official page. Most public universities in Germany do not charge tuition, but TUM and the universities in Baden-Württemberg charge non-EU students, and every student pays a semester fee. RWTH Aachen and TU Berlin say they charge non-EU students no extra tuition, but their pages give no amounts, so they have no card yet. No private universities or colleges are listed yet. This is not a recommendation: Germany has many more universities that accept Nepali students, and you also need a blocked account for the visa. See our Germany student visa guide.

Fees depend on the course, the year you start and your fee status. They are not a quote. Open the source link and confirm with the university before you apply.

Public universities. Fees are in euros per semester on the university pages; the cards show the yearly total.
