Huge Changes For Students in Germany 2024 (more money, new fees...) 

Facts! I will make a video with good alternative to TUM

I was looking forward to 2026 here too for Masters degree, they would always be alternative. And we can work to get more than half of the fee or even ¾ of it for a year.

When are you planning to go It is 2025,I'm also planning to do my masters in Germany I'll finish my bachelors next year

Go to Darmstadt or Bonn

Very well said!

How many year degree programm after 3 year enginner deploma for non-EU student and

That's another reason people come to Germany, the university I go to doesn't have to matter unlike other countrie, as if the employers contributed some how to my success.

hey, i want to pursue aerospace for my bachelors at TUM, is there any alternatives you would recommend for me to check out? thanks

In Germany too, students from "Prestige" Unis can get a better Job, especially in Business

Fyi if you’re comparing feed to USA then also compare the salaries in USA people get and abundance English job opportunities.

community colleges were once free in California but they introduces a small fee and from there it exploded! now a lot of people can't afford the education as it is now 50 dollars pee unit so part time is 300 dollars for 6 units.

@@shivanksingh6468 the salary ratio is horrendous. the average american workplace is toxic af and expects you to live for the company. EU on the other hand, gives higher wages with mandatory leaves and more paid holidays.

Seems reasonable :) TUM is also very overran at the moment

Totally the opposite happens , non eu runs from poverty to germany and eu citizens have no reasons to go to a cold cloudy country with a hard af language.

Check the immigrated nations to germany and you would get my point

@geranienbaum thank you for confirming my point ♥️ why would they go and live in germany then

@@77mounir German is sooo incredibly easy…

Is there aviation management in RWTH... Is it good university?

Fortunately there are a lot of other universities that are free

Thanks a lot! Btw LMU is still free for everybody, I feel like many people overlook this one because it's "number 2"

@@maxyoko yeah true, that was actually my second choice before TUM. i never applied though as i already got into TUM

I dont think you understand why there are no tuition fees in Germany. Its because upwards mobility is enshrined as a right in the constitution ...The Universities themselves are funded by taxes. So logically International Students should have always had to pay fees, as neither they nor their families have contributed anything to the country. Not charging fees was a cheap way to attract international students but the amount of applications they get from all over the world has a high administrative cost, so it seems like a way of balancing that.

For Baden Württemberg, I can say that they love Money a lot. Every other possible explanations, for this is nonsense.

@@SephirothVG "neither they nor their families have contributed anything to the country" - yes but they didn't receive any contribution from Germany prior to arriving there either. think of it this way - since a few months before the birth of a child, all the way up to that child being 18+, germany spends big in childcare, primary / secondary education, training, infrastructure, parenting subsidies etc. But none of that is spent on a foreigner - the foreigner's home country does all of that. and right when the foreigner is at the age of starting to contribute back to their country, they leave for Germany (or other developed countries), thereby depriving their home country of that contribution. Instead, the new host country starts enjoying that person's contribution directly, despite not spending any money building that person up to their adulthood.

Hey, there are many other very affordable cities in Germany where the universities don't charge any tuition fees

​@@maxyokolike which ones please ?

Thanks for sharing your insights :)

@@maxyoko anytime! love your videos 🥰

Only for you guys ;)

Thanks a lot ❤️

@geranienbaum i know we have that right but what i am asking is that the time we must spend in germany has decreased after he was 6 years to 3 ... huge difference, the value might increase due to the life requirements and the increasing of the goods 🥲

It is true , germany has a large defect in work force and needs 7 millions immigrates to fill in the gap I've already seen tons of videos of ppl talking about it

@@77mounir By workforce they mean that they need low / medium skill workers. Not University grads.

I always hear that it's eight years that you need to live in the country to become a German citizen by naturalization. But with exceptional academic or professional achievements, socially active or with high language skills, in exceptional cases, you can obtain citizenship only after three years

@@77mounirwe don’t need 7 million who you trying to suffocate

I've googled a bit about ATA in Germany and I've found that there are only Ausbildung programmes available for 'Anästhesietechnischer Assistent/in (ATA)'. Which means, the main question to consider is whether you are eligible for any master's program after completing your study program. Studium and Ausbildung in Germany are two different stories. If you are eligible, you need to find a program that matches your current curriculum. The website Hochschulkompass can give you all the latest information about the courses offered by German higher education institutions - from undergraduate level through to doctoral studies. It helped me out when I was looking for a study program. And don't hesitate to reach out to the spokespeople of the universities. Questions cost nothing. Perhaps they will give you a direction :) And good luck with your studies, as to secure a place in a medical university in Germany, your marks must be outstanding or nearly so :)

I'll see what I can do :)

Thanks for your detailed feedback, and valid points. Keep in mind, this video should only be a quick informative one, follow-up videos about these topics function as a more in-depth analysis of the topic You don't look at a 15-minute news broadcast and complain that it's too shallow, right?

@@maxyoko I think you can make much more with 15 minute's through better structure, more dense information (and maybe less trivial calculations and examples) and if there is time maybe some critical thoughts. These things require more time, research and work but I think only then you would really create something meaningful.

@@schunka1051 I'll keep that in mind

It's a top university!

@@maxyoko it is such a relief to hear that, thanks❤️

I'll see what I can do

thanks for your time@@maxyoko

They actually do!

Only new students from winter semester 2024/25

There are gonna be scholarships, waivers, and exemptions from these fees. I'm gonna make a detailed video about the whole fee thing in the near future ^^ It's damn expensive ngl

You're welcome ❤️

Have a great one too 🫶

At the moment, no other university in Bavaria is going to introduce fees. But I'll keep you updated because things can change very quickly

Appreciate it very much :)

I wish that too

There is no age limit for studying in Germany :) There was a guy in my Physics degree who was 56

@geranienbaum already did, I can't find anything about the job relation between those degrees in Germany, if you already found something can you tell me? Thanks though, happy new year!

Hey thanks for your nice comment :) Doesn't it come to preference at the end? I know many designers who earn more money than engineers for example In the end, it just comes down to what you like, what industry you wanna go in and how skilled you are in the field. Skilled people always find jobs and it's substantially easier to become good at something if you are in love with it But yes, the entry salaries are usually higher for B.Sc.

@@maxyoko thanks, I agree, you can only be very good at something if you practice it enough, so you better follow your passion. Thankfully, I am skilled in the area of my interest, and smart in general, so if what you say about skilled people always finding jobs is true, I don‘t think I will have much problems. Greetings from Chile, hope your family and friends are okay after the earthquake

Glad it was helpful! 🫶

Ausbildung gives you a lot of practical experience so in this field it might be a better choice

@@maxyoko ok that's why thanks , and to he honest i don't know which career should i pursue in Germany i hope you can help me , is there any online survey i can do to know which college major suite me ?

Ausbildung is better since you get a lot of practical experience

You could still go in the summer semester. But LMU is also a good alternative and it's free

@@maxyoko let me give you the full story then. I want to study Aerospace engineering, and i was told studying in germany in the german language is difficult for the germans themselves let alone foreigners who just learnt the language. I got this from different trustable sources and for me, i would rather learn math and phy in eng than any other lang. i am used to it. So the thing is TUM has Aerospace in english, and thats an attracting offer, so i bet on it. and here i am done with A1 going for A2 and now realised its not gonna be easy. now i guess i gotta learn A2 and also pay like 4 to 6k a year in addition to the 12k of living and stuff. thats just a minimum of 16k with rough estimates. got it?

and i cant go in summer because this specific course is in winter@@maxyoko

@@lyriczz801 yes i did my Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering at a university of applied sciences. Took me six years to finish. The thing is the language is not the issue (i studied in german). We were only 4 foreigners in my course, the rest germans. The failure AND drop out rate was generally high. They make passing modules and getting the degree ARTIFICIALLY hard. Living in germany is already hard , then the unis make your life hell. I am talking at Bachelor level german courses not international/English courses. Because those Bachelors in german are done the german way : hard,complicated, inefficient. I regreted having come here for my bachelor.

@@lyriczz801 hey im on the same boat as you, im taking aerospace for bachelors in english this year although i will learn till c1. i was really hoping for TUM, but the fact that theres tuition fees is tough now. do you mind if we could connect through somewhere?

😢😢

Most public universities in Germany don't have tuition fees :)

@@maxyoko thanks, please can you do video on university without application fee 🙏😔

You can in theory have that but are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week

non-EU international students can work up to a max of 240 half-days or 120 full days per year, max 20 hours per week during school term.

Thanks! Will do 🫶

You're welcome 🫶

Yess you're absolutely right ^^

Love u ❤️

Good idea, I'll see what I can do

@@maxyoko thanks

Yes bro. By the way which university are u applying and which intake you planning?

@@har_d_rocks9987 i got admission in Gisma university, done my interview . I hope so to get visa ..

A scholarship would be the best possible solution here. Otherwise saving up a lot of money or going to a public university is the way to go

@@maxyoko actually i applied for bachelors program so there will be no scholarships.. we can change university after one year study in private uni ?

Always welcome 🫶

You're welcome

Very important haha 🫶

Lol. I did love the video 😅

Have a look here, very useful resource when it comes to picking a university: www.mygermanuniversity.com/

@@maxyoko thanks a lot.

😢😢

duable expect for munich might be the toughest to find a decent price for an apartment. What do you look for in a city, they all have a VERY different vibe. Frankfurt is the best for travelling inside Germany because it's near centrum.

You're welcome ^^

Glad you've found me :)

Internships are not well paid in Germany unfortunately :( Especially the Pflichtpraktikum

A bunch of videos are coming!

University of applied sciences in Munich :)

You can get the jobs in your industry where not German is required

Agreed but you will still be paying for Romanians and Bulgarians. That's not fair either.

Thanks for sharing your viewpoint ^^

@@maxyoko Your kind of YT channel is important fot spreading correct info about studying in Germany. I wish I did more proper research about ranking and different types of Hochschule in Germany. I decided not to finish my study but gained understanding of how things work there. Anyway it'll be great if you create a video explaining tax and other income deductions. It will help the prospective and current students to prepare for their future. I learnt about it from Einfach Besser! Deutsch für den Beruf. Such topic is usually not covered when one learns German for academic purpose.

At the moment no ^^

I don't know much about this university but what I can tell you is that all universities in Germany offer good education because they have to meet certain standards set by the state

@@maxyoko i see. I get that for, Germans public universities which is free are good but when in comes to business degrees what i found out is both are equally good. Thank u. Also great videos man.

Very happy to hear that ❤️

Let's gooo new comment from Markus

They should have a dedicated section on their website

There are English-taught Studienkollegs where you don't need German to apply

@@maxyoko could you help me with some names??

Sorta true, but for people from EU countries it's still free tho But I can understand why TUM made this move

@@maxyokowell, they cannot discriminate people from EU, cuz it directly would go to the court, I think if they could, they would let students from EU countries pay 😅

@@hubertmatthias1459 If I'm not mistaken, EU non-German must pay tuition in BW for their second degree. At least that was the rule when i studied in 2017.

@@dmarl1042 as i read, in BW habe all students pay for second studies, german also

@@hubertmatthias1459 Not sure. That's after my time. I don't think it's fair to charge the Germans. On the other hand, a German openly admitted to me that he registered for a second degree to take advantage of all the student's benefit and had no intention to study. The week after he flaunted his Tesla. I wish there are ways to catch those abusers. Else, the opportunities and benefits are wasted on these scoundrels . Pardon the harsh words.

Studienkollegs have different fees as far as I know

You too ❤

There are still plenty of tuition free universities in Germany :)

@@maxyoko thanks for your reply to me

facts

I believe it's already approved :) www.make-it-in-germany.com/de/unternehmen/einreise/arbeitsmarktzulassung/studierende

Sehr Gut , Danke@@maxyoko

Scholarships would definitely be of help.

Don't worry, other public universities have excellent education too

Depends on if you are a German citizen or not. I went to school in Japan but I'm German so they let me in

@@maxyoko Oooh alright then, I'm legally a German citizen, my dad from Bochum, So yeah, thank you btw, much appreciated

@@abderrahmanesaaoudi6215 let's goo!

i might just keep my skillset in the U.S. and Germany can keep its lack of IT innovation

Then you have more money to spend :)

quick quick 👀 Glad you're back

👀❤️

I'll see if I can make a video about that in the future :)

Freut mich zu hören :)

you're welcome ❤️

yes I prefer it! Video is coming in the future :)

@@maxyoko I am from Egypt and my dream is to study computer science in Germany, but after the decision of universities in Germany that students from outside the European Union must pay a lot of tuition fees, it has become difficult for me to bear these costs, but I will try as much as I can to do my best to achieve my dream, and I am now. At the end of secondary school, and after I finish my exams, I will learn the German language for a year, after which I will apply to join one of the German universities. I am currently, alongside my studies, learning to design website interfaces to help me work as a student when I go to Germany. I would like to ask you a question: Which university do you advise me to join? In Germany. In the end, I would like to thank you for your effort in the videos, and I really benefit from your information about studying in Germany. Keep it up, Max.

@@AhmedElsayed-hp3vcas a Nigerian I understand the frustration of not being able to afford foreign education. Have you looked into Ausbildung? It’s a great way to get paid while studying and you can get a job after and further in a university

I do not want to waste many years of my life in vocational training and then studying at university@@PrinnyOfodoks

Hey !!@@maxyoko I've watched some of your videos recently, and I found them super informative and helpful for students like me who are interested in studying and building a future in Germany. As someone from Bangladesh who also dreams of living in Germany, your content has been invaluable. I have a bit of a conundrum that I've been struggling with for a while, and I'd really appreciate your guidance. I'm a high school graduate (HSC-2022) looking to move abroad for better career opportunities, and I'm torn between two options: Option 1: Germany - Ausbildung: Pursue an Ausbildung in Germany, which combines vocational training with on-the-job experience. Enter the job market directly after completing the Ausbildung. Option 2: Japan - Language School & Diploma: Enrol in a two-year language school program in Japan to learn Japanese. Obtain a diploma (e.g., associate degree) in a relevant field after the language program. Enter the Japanese job market with the diploma and language skills. Unfortunately, a bachelor's degree isn't financially feasible for me right now, so I'm seeking the smoothest path to establish myself and advance my career in either country. My passion lies in the automotive sector, and both Germany and Japan offer fantastic opportunities in this field. I'm willing to learn either Japanese N5 or German B1, but I'm unsure which path would be better for me in the long run. Any advice you could offer would be incredibly valuable. Thank you for your time, and I eagerly await your response! Thanks for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! MAHMUD SIDDIK

Stay tuned for every Saturday ❤️

@@maxyoko 🆗 i appreciate your work good luck
