## About

Weimar is a historic city in Thuringia, home to Goethe, Schiller, and the original Bauhaus design movement. The city has a strong artistic legacy and cultural scene; living costs are among Germany's lowest (~€600–700/month). The city attracts artists and designers, and has a tight creative community despite its small size.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 — the only compulsory payment is a semester contribution of ≈€400 per year covering administration and student services, one of the lowest rates in Germany.
- Covers arts, science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), business, and social sciences, giving CIS students a broad range of degree options in one place.
- A German public-university diploma is recognised across the EU, opening job markets in 27 countries after graduation.
- Germany grants an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa, letting graduates stay and convert their degree into a career.
- Weimar is a UNESCO World Heritage city with a dense cultural scene and low cost of living compared to Berlin or Munich.
- International students in Germany may work up to 120 full days or 240 half-days per year, easing living costs.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes are taught in German; without C1 level, your study options are severely limited regardless of IELTS.
- Non-EU applicants without a recognised school-leaving certificate must typically complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 before a student visa is issued.
- Weimar is a small city with a limited local job market; internships and part-time work in your field may be scarce.
- Thüringen has a modest economy compared to western Bundesländer, so post-graduation regional job prospects are narrower.
