A Guide on Munich Universities
Talk to Expert
Munich Technological University: Munich is the third largest city in Germany and is home to top education institutions, excellent infrastructure, and a good network of transportation that offers students a high standard of living at affordable prices. The recently published QS Best Student Cities 2023 has ranked Munich in the second spot only behind London with an overall score of 95.1 on 100, making the city one of the most preferred destinations for students studying abroad. The survey uses the opinions of current students to rate university locations on factors including affordability and desirability.
Public universities in Germany are financed by the state and therefore are free for both EU and non-EU students. Indian students looking to study in Germany would be happy to know that public universities in Germany do not charge a tuition fee but only an administration fee that is required to be paid at the start of every semester. However, getting admission to public universities is an uphill task. Candidates opting for private universities that are equally good would have to pay a substantial tuition fee as part of the admission process.

Cost of Living in Munich
International students looking to study in Germany are mandated to open a Blocked Account. The blocked account would have the money required by students as living expenses for an entire academic year. Students should note that the amount in the blocked account (living cost in Germany) is decided by the government keeping the cost of items(inflation) in mind. Students would be required to open an account with a local bank in India with a Blocked Account facility. Once the student departs to Germany, the bank would transfer the amount to a local bank in Germany in a blocked account to be utilized as living costs in Germany.
As of September 1, 2022, keeping the inflation rate in mind, the mandatory amount required in the German Blocked Account for studying in Germany is €11,172 for an entire year or €931 for a month. Candidates would have to keep a little more than the said amount as the bank could levy a service charge on the student opening a Blocked Account in Germany. For a student, the money kept in the German Blocked Account should ideally cover accommodation, living expenses, and even travel pass costs.
