Masters in Germany from Pakistan
Low or no tuition at public universities, strong engineering and IT programs, and an 18-month job-search stay — costs in PKR, the blocked account, visa and how to apply, free of cost.
Why Germany for a master’s
Germany is a top choice for affordable, high-quality education, especially in engineering, IT and sciences. Public universities are largely tuition-free, and graduates get an 18-month residence permit to look for a job. It is one of the best value-for-money destinations for Pakistani students.
Entry requirements from Pakistan
- Bachelor’s degree (HEC-recognised) matching the program
- English (IELTS) for English-taught programs, or German for German-taught
- Admission letter from a recognised university
- A blocked account to prove living funds for the visa
Cost and funds
Public tuition is minimal, but you must show living funds in a blocked account for the visa (the amount is set by the German authorities and updated periodically, so confirm the current figure). Private universities charge tuition — check per-program fees in the finder. See the full study-abroad guides and our Study in Germany from Pakistan guide.
