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

Hi max, thanks for the insight. Can you share your opinion on IU University of applied sciences? Is it a good university that has good reputation for employers there? I'm planning to take the mba program

Meanwhile, I have German/EU friends who openly abuse the free system, e.g. registering for an unpopular program like Theologie for a semester ticket to pay less for public transport 😂

Hi I am dhanush I want to do Ms in Cs can you recommend any colleges for my admission purposes please.

Quite unfortunate, as a potential international student, i can’t afford germany now and have to look for alternatives. Such a bummer since germany was my first choice because of the quality of engineering education there.

Why should German tax payers have to pay for foreigners to study in Germany? We cannot afford even to send our own kids to universities in other states than the one you live in...

i wanted to move to germany from the us but now with all this extra bullsh%^ i have to factor in im wondering if it is even worth it

May i ask if the other universites will follow tum footsteps ???

Hey :), which are some of the best med schools out of baden wurttemberg?

If you are short on money than don't study in Munich. It is not only the tuition but the costs for rent and groceries which are the most expensive in Germany. According to studis-online you pay on average 720 € per month for a room in a WG in Munich (if you can get). The total average (including hard to get rooms in a dorm) for Munich are 540 € while Aachen has 410 €, Braunschweig 400 € and Leipzig 410 €. Again, if money is an issue than don't go to the big cities in former West-Germany Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt/Main, Köln, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and the whole of Berlin. Smaller cities (e.g. Trier), the Ruhr Area (Dortmund, Bochum , Essen) and East-Germany are more affordable. Munich is nice but very expensive.

BMW pays minimum wage for interns unfortunately :/

Me, who is doing an Ausbildung, and getting little more than the minimum wage for an Ausbildung:
Sad, Someone in a mini job gets more than me..

Calm down people. Not all unis require tuition fee.
TUM has a Singapore Chapter. Check it out and maybe you can at least understand part of the reasons for such tuition fee.
And be honest with yourself. Compare the cost of studying in your home country, germany and other countries vs your expected return from the study. Choose what best for you and stop complaining.
Also the salary deduction is not all tax, but also covers insurance and pension fund. Pay close attention to understand if such system is of your interest.

They are destroying the only thing that made them attractive to students..hope it wont affect their economy negatively

And at the end of the day, those same international students are still the same people who will have it tougher to find affordable accomodation, must show proof of roughly 12k in their bank acccount, will very likely be working on the side etc. I think the issue of accomodation should at least be sorted out for them to an extent if they are going to have this financial burden in such an insanely costly city as Munich.

The tuition is not much when compared to the US or UK, however one concern is that it sets a precedent for introducing general tuition fees for everyone in the future. That was tried before but resulted in student protests.
Great videos, I would recommend removing the noisy background of the text frames and also the flicker between the cuts to enhance the experience to the viewer.

Also keep in mind that another reason for the tuition fees is that TUM wants to have less students (especially in CS). As local students cannot really be targeted anymore, the tuition fees were a politically feasible way to try to lessen the burden on the institution as well as to get some much needed funding into the schools as the state funding basically hasn't changed while the number of students kind of exploded. (which is kind of bad since most international students come here for a Master's degree and aren't really the reason for the overcrowding of the university)

As such I predict that most universities will not implement tuition fees as they are very much looking for students (in fact, TUM seems to be the only university in Germany trying to shrink) and will probably try to attract people which were originally planning to go to TUM. As most international students actually stay in Germany after their study the fees also don't make a lot of sense. Funnily enough, there are rumors that Baden-Württemberg is planning to scrap the fees as they view it as a "Standortnachteil" for the state :D

Everything is going to the shitter for Germany because it decided to commit sudoku in favor of the US

I absolutely love how you mention "we all hate paying taxes" and "OMG they make us pay for education" in almost one sentence LOL.

Those the fees apply to sudienkellog

Please how can i apply for studinkellog without knowing german?

Hi there, i am planning to do masters in digital marketing from Germany is it good idea?

12,41€ well ... everything is getting more expensive

please talk about ho to apply for the studienkolleg also , i really find it hard to apply and to know informations and its difficult to use uni assist etc ....

Thank you so much, this is very helpful!

I graduated at RWTH Aachen. I paid 500 euro for the first semeter back then. But then they canceled tuition in Germany. And yes, i choosen to leave Germany a year after graduation.

I wish for a day when we would not need to pay taxes.

i've bookmarked msc at tum. i was shocked few days ago when i saw this xD tum is excellent, but ion wanna pay 6k. i hope there will be exemptions and scholarships, cause munich is quite expensive anyhow.

Konstanz Uni Student here! Konstanz is in Baden-Württemberg. I'm currently already paying 1679 Euros per Semester for my education as an international student. One thing about Germany is that there is so many Stipendium options you could apply for if you study good for your exams <3

Well there are other german states either way

You're videos are a little shallow. For example, the minimum wage increase is great but it's necessary to put it in contrast with inflation and increasing cost of living. Another example would be the number of hours you can work as a student. Students might be legally allowed to work more hours, but is that also good for the students? For example a company could choose a student that is able to work more hours over another one, which in the end will forbid students that are simply not able to work those amount of hours to get those positions. On the other hand, opportunity to work more does not translate to better life quality; a student working less hours and earning less could be a happier, more productive and social person. You also talked about the student fees and stated that these are bad for us students. But how will these changes affect student life and why is TUM doing this etc etc.?
In summary I would say, you're portraying these topics without depth, you have to talk about the consequences of these changes, you should make comparisons with previous years and you have to put it in perspective with bigger topics. If you dont do that the statement "good changes and bad changes" has no meaning and the video is a bit langweilig.

What jobs can i get as a master student who can speak English only?

What are the chances for another universities to follow TUM ?

You are kind Man! ❤

Guys if anyone have any information pls help me , rn im studying anesthesia technique
( anesthesiologist assistant or ATA)

And meanwhile im studying german language bcs I want to study in Germany and get my master degree from there
The question is , is there a master degree in this specific specialist
If anyone know ot have any inf pls let me know

Thank you Max for this wonder full video covering important knowledge ❤

As a German, I appreciate the fact that foreigners now have to contribute to tuition fees, given that I pay nearly 50% of my entire income in taxes and an additional 19% on almost every product I purchase

if iam a student in tum now and have been there for 2 years should i pay or only new students ?

HI @maxyoko . Sent you an email about studying abroad! Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks.

Love your videos mate! They contain so much value, keep up the good work Max!💪

can you help me with my admission in Germany universities? need some good guidance.

Forgive me for a question that is a little out of the subject.. What is the maximum age for bachelor's study in Germany?

Doing part time and mini job both can be done right?
For example: 20 hours per week and along with 8 hours in saturday(mini job) can be done right?

I did my study in TUM, and I see no reason international students getting fixated with TUM, unless 1. there is a a specific program unique to TUM 2. you like Munich (or its job opportunities) and can financially afford to live there.

In the local job market, I see no difference in how a TUM graduate is advantageous over other unis (except maybe more student job/internship opportunities due to the location of Munich), because in Germany, the "brand" of the uni is less important than individual's skills and experience

"improve study conditions with those fees" yeaah, sure, this is definitely not just a pathetic attempt of cash grab from confused students who've been led to believe that tum is some kind of german mit
for people in the comments, guys, it's just a uni, they aren't going to teach you something you absolutely cannot get in other german uni. they're just selling you "prestige" now

Thanks for this update. It was helpful

Ur video was not in the list whenever I search for studies in Germany … I found only Indian videos

In which uni u study?

Hey, can you make a video talking about the two types of bachelor degrees that exist in Germany? I want to know if a Bachelor of Arts is less prestigious than a Bachelor of Science, and thus I would have problems finding a job if I decide to study a BA. If it is a short answer, would you mind telling me here? Thank you very much for all of your videos, they are of great quality and it's impressive your maturity in relation with your age. Cheers.

I have been eyeing the universities in Baden Württemberg and Tum as I want to go there, but now for real my plan is screwed up . I feel a little sad. But thank you and upgrade us about the scholarships for talented students and the requirements for acceptance ❤
