all right so this is free tuition at
0:03
University of colum 2024 2025 now we've
0:06
seen a lot of um German public
0:09
universities before in our other videos
0:11
or our live streams this is pretty much
0:14
the same um some people might not see
0:16
this as a
0:18
scholarship it's more like a free more
0:20
like free education like free higher
0:23
education um it's for bachelor Masters
0:25
and PhD students basically a lot of
0:28
German public universities do not charge
0:30
you um tuition fees so it's not
0:33
completely free you still have to pay
0:35
about like €300
0:37
€320 um or something like semester fee
0:40
that's per
0:41
semester but um they do not uh charge
0:45
any tuition so um like when compare to
0:49
places like United States where you
0:51
would have to go there and for any type
0:53
of education uh you would have to pay
0:55
about like at least 20 $30,000 and it
0:59
could go up to like for private
1:00
universities 50 $60,000 every year um
1:04
Germany gives you quite good education
1:07
like a very high level of quality um of
1:09
education and it does not charge you any
1:11
tuition fees it's like €600 per year uh
1:15
for tuition fees um as you can see there
1:18
are no like nationalities or subjects
1:20
for this if you are subjects for this if
1:22
you are accepted to the university you
1:25
are um accepted for this clearly um it I
1:29
don't think it used to be this way um
1:32
like um International students used to
1:34
have to pay tuition fees but they also
1:37
like kind of um kind of cancel that too
1:40
now you don't have to pay um tuition
1:42
fees um admission deadline this is for
1:45
the universities deadline obviously
1:47
because you do not have to apply for the
1:49
scholarship separately um if you're
1:51
admitted to University basically do not
1:53
um do not pay any tuition fees so that's
1:57
the coverage as you can see this is our
1:59
page and we have also uh the warning
2:01
about like the
2:03
320 um EUR semester fee which is very
2:07
affordable but still for a lot of people
2:09
can be kind of like a problematic and
2:11
like you would know beforehand going
2:14
there because like um in like eight
2:18
semesters um it would add up to about
2:21
$2,500 or Euros or something so yeah
2:24
it's still some amount to be um um you
2:28
know be aware of um there are no
2:30
eligibility criteria as you can see if
2:32
you are accepted the university you're
2:34
just accepted for this um the university
2:37
let's see a little bit more about that
2:39
now it's kind of a large University it's
2:42
in Cologne which is a large city very
2:44
popular city in uh Germany but as you
2:47
can see this is one of the issues for a
2:50
lot of people who wants to study in
2:51
Germany uh it's that they don't have
2:53
other scholarships all that much like uh
2:56
so the university as you can said this
2:57
is just one scholarship this is the
3:00
University's page it has one scholarship
3:03
and if you click there and go as you can
3:06
see it's just it's the free tution like
3:08
it's the one we are talking about there
3:09
are no additional um scholarships
3:12
usually um German universities do not
3:14
have other scholarships um so if you
3:17
want to study in Germany there is a good
3:21
possibility you will have to pay for
3:23
your own living expenses how to do that
3:26
we're going to talk about that uh in a
3:28
second because one thing I really like
3:30
about German universities is that they
3:31
give you a lot of information like
3:34
guides and Etc about how to finance your
3:36
education in Germany and col colon
3:39
University does that too we'll see that
3:40
in a second uh so this is admission you
3:43
can just click here and go and see about
3:46
the international um admission for
3:50
Bachelors hang on yeah so this is for
3:53
Masters and as you can see we have the
3:55
deadlines here again these are deadlines
3:57
for application to the university
4:00
um yeah and this is it normally there
4:02
will be like uh like tens of thousands
4:05
of dollars here for like American
4:09
schools um Canadian schools Australian
4:12
schools again would be about like 20
4:16
30,000 perhaps for like um English
4:19
schools schools in the United Kingdom um
4:22
even for Japanese or um Korean schools
4:24
it would be quite high but this is
4:26
completely free so yeah this is the
4:28
University I'm going actually let me
4:30
show you the university for a second
4:33
like where it is what it looks like it's
4:36
in Germany obviously it's in Cologne but
4:38
maybe you don't not know where the
4:40
cologne
4:41
is um here it is so uh quite close to
4:46
Netherlands uh Belgium and Paris so
4:49
France so in the West Germany so this is
4:53
the
4:54
University
4:56
um now colon is really well known for
4:59
its
5:01
like um historical Heritage but the
5:04
university does not have like as an
5:07
architecture very historic
5:10
feeling um yeah so that's the university
5:13
this is the University it's a very good
5:14
University like in general German
5:17
universities quite kind of are um so
5:20
this is the
5:22
University and we have the deadlines
5:24
here also we have comment section if you
5:27
have any questions about anything it
5:30
could be about a scholarship it could
5:31
could be about a university doesn't
5:33
matter um in every page that we have uh
5:37
for scholarships and universities or
5:39
even like guides that we have we have a
5:41
comment section and if you ask like if
5:43
you leave your questions as comments
5:45
here uh he only answers all of them he's
5:48
the founder of of uh Global scholarships
5:51
and again I have never seen like I
5:53
cannot emphasize this enough I have
5:55
never seen a single question going
5:58
unanswered here so like this is where I
6:00
I would put my question basically if you
6:03
want to get more information you can
6:05
click on here on official scholarship
6:07
page to go to the University's page for
6:09
the scholarship and again as you can see
6:11
they give you like one of key aspects
6:14
when planning your studies and clone is
6:16
financing many International students
6:18
depend on a job a scholarship a loan um
6:21
again job um I have I've had a couple of
6:24
friends who went went to Germany as
6:27
students and most of them did not really
6:29
find like had a lot of difficulties
6:32
finding part-time jobs and they also as
6:36
you can see we have like further
6:38
information on working as a student uh
6:40
you can click on any of these to get
6:42
more information or like job market um
6:46
also they give you information on um the
6:50
semester fee or like um your living
6:53
costs very very well detailed um amount
6:57
as you can see they
7:00
like their estimation is about ,000 EUR
7:03
uh which is kind of standard for German
7:06
cities like a colon is a large city for
7:08
maybe a smaller City it would be about
7:10
800 uh maybe even
7:13
€750 or could be about like 10 like
7:17
1,100 or something like that so as you
7:21
can see we have like rent here which
7:24
kind of seems um quite affordable
7:27
for a rent in um a very like large
7:32
German City this is actually kind of
7:35
more affordable uh than rents in the
7:39
city I live in in Turkey so it's kind of
7:41
like depressing from my perspective but
7:43
so yeah this is as you can see the
7:45
largest part element means like foods
7:48
and stuff like uh what you would need to
7:51
go get by uh clothes Learning Materials
7:54
uh semester fee this is so um clearly
7:58
this is um
8:00
one sixth of the semester fee so which
8:03
means like uh this is the amount you
8:05
would have to pay every month because
8:07
like it's €300 per uh per semester which
8:11
is um like it's it's six months and then
8:14
so every month you would have to pay so
8:16
what I'm trying to say is this also
8:18
cover like this and
8:21
986 also cover the semester fee like
8:24
it's not that you have to pay a th000
8:26
like around ,000 every month and then
8:30
you also have to pay €300 per um per
8:34
semester this kind of includes the
8:36
semester fee health insurance and
8:38
medical fees which is kind of great
8:40
because um like you don't have health
8:42
insurance in a lot of countries
8:45
especially United States can be a qu
8:48
quite a big issue uh when it comes to
8:51
health insurance so we have more
8:53
information on residence permit and
8:59
I where is that yeah Financial proof so
9:03
like you will have to have a blocked
9:04
account and you will have to
9:07
pay
9:09
um
9:11
€1,900 per year for the winter semester
9:13
so like it's you don't pay that you just
9:17
keep that in a blocked account um it's
9:20
your own money but the country just
9:23
wants to make sure that you have enough
9:25
money if you apply for residence permit
9:27
for the purpose of sitting in Germany
9:29
you have to Financial proof to the
9:30
German authorities ensures that you are
9:32
able to cover all living costs during
9:34
your stay in Germany so like they do
9:37
this in pretty much everything um like
9:39
language schools or like if you are like
9:42
if even if you don't go there with a
9:44
scholarship or something you have to
9:47
like gather that amount of money that
9:48
you will need in a year and put that in
9:51
a blog account blog account so they know
9:54
that people coming in uh will not be
9:57
unable to pay their living expenses I
9:59
think it's kind of like a smart idea um
10:02
and then like more information here
10:04
about like studying and working
10:06
scholarships thead scholarship is a very
10:09
um famous scholarship in Germany um if
10:13
you do not know that we also have a
10:14
video uh on that um I don't think we
10:18
have a video on that actually we have a
10:21
page obviously on global
10:22
scholarships.com you can go to Global
10:25
scholarships.com and in the scholarship
10:27
section we have as you can see popular
10:29
government scholarships and you can
10:31
click on Dad scholarships to learn more
10:33
about those and as you can see there are
10:36
like there are like 12 questions and
10:40
like I'm like it's it's a popular
10:43
um uh popular scholarship and as you can
10:46
see all of them are answered all of them
10:49
I'm not sure how Yan finds enough time
10:52
to do that but he does so yeah uh
10:56
student
10:57
loans as as an alternative please be
10:59
sure to take advice before taking out
11:01
student loan um so yeah you can get more
11:04
information um we have also this
11:08
one yeah this is pretty much it um it's
11:11
kind of sad that um German universities
11:14
do not really give you um scholarships
11:17
other than just like covering your
11:18
tuition fees but like when you think
11:20
about it um if you go there and find a
11:23
job you don't have to pay tuition fees
11:25
uh like the worst that will happen is
11:27
that you will have like you will have uh
11:30
spent your like the amount of money in
11:33
your blocked account blocked account and
11:36
that's pretty much it like you don't you
11:38
will not go to insane amounts of debt um
11:41
like you would in the United States and
11:44
then we'll be unable to uh pay the
11:46
tuition fees and then maybe expelled
11:48
from the school so yeah it's kind of
11:50
like I I would say with Germany it's
11:53
more um it is safer I would say yeah so
11:56
this is free tuition at University of
11:57
cologne a very good University
11:59
and in my opinion a really good
12:01
