I had a plan to start my master's program at TUM in 2 years, but now due to tuition fees i have to find an alternative. That is sad, but i am not upset, because there are a lot of other high quality Unis in Germany. Hopefully other Universities will not make those fees too

very informative video.. if possible, please make a video about top universities for Finance studies at bachelor level..

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

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 😂

Its like Allah doesn't want me going to Germany TUM. It was my goal for 2024, was waiting for admission literally

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

Thanks.

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

[nghb]

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

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.

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

[emmanuelekene]

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.

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 can understand Baden-Württemburg on why they introduced tuition fees (i think it was about the deficit of the state's budget), but one of my friends from the US wanted to study in TUM. Unfortunately he was upset by the fact that TUM has introduced tuition fees for international students, because he was really intrigued by Germany's tuition free-high education. He did say he will figure something out, but it sucks that the "experiment on tuition free education" in Bavaria is technically over. Anyhow, great video and information!

[glbong]

About the fee for non-EU international students. I think the motivation is to give the opportunities more to EU citizens because they are high likely to stay in EU after graduation and for the rest of their career, compared to non-EU citizens. That in effect will support economy in EU region.

[yashcyber-th]

The First thing all unis can't introduce the tuition fees cozz they need workers to serve there country and if they did this fool thing the students will not come at that level !! I Think this way so

[zohzu]

It’s good that they raised the tuition. I was hoping for that. If you live here you are. Financing that system with taxes you pay your hole live. If you come here and just want higher education you probably have the financial ability to pay the tuition, especially Munich is so expensive. It is just fair in that regard, since the majority of people are just taking free spots away form people that actually pay with their taxes with it. I know that since and knowledge should be a available for everyone, so they should definitely make it possible to get that money back if you get a citizenship or hand out shoolerships more often, since there is money that the university can use

[joelamoako]

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.

[anasassi]

Great video, i have a question: is it right that as an international student we will get the chance in 2024 to get out citizenship in only 3 years ?
Also another important question: will the Sparkonto increases its value?
