## About

Ludwigsburg is a picturesque town south of Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg, famous for its baroque palace and charming historic centre. Student life is relaxed and community-oriented, rents are low, and the town has good transport links to Stuttgart (20 minutes). It's ideal for students seeking a genuine small-town atmosphere with easy access to a major city.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 per year for international students, making it rare even among German public universities.
- An IELTS 6.0 entry bar is accessible for CIS students with solid but not exceptional English.
- Social work, nursing, and education are high-demand fields with strong graduate employment across Germany.
- Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa lets graduates stay and convert studies into a career in the EU.
- Ludwigsburg sits in Baden-Württemberg near Stuttgart, a wealthy industrial hub with abundant internship and placement opportunities.
- A German EU degree is recognised across all Schengen states, expanding long-term mobility well beyond Germany itself.

## Watch out for

- Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU students a €1,500 per semester fee; verify whether this applies here despite the €0 stated tuition.
- Most bachelor programmes at German applied-science universities teach in German, so C1 German is effectively required for daily study.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised Abitur equivalent often must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before admission, adding up to one year.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of roughly €11,904 for a visa, which must be deposited upfront.
- Ludwigsburg is a mid-sized town; the local student social scene and housing market are smaller than in Berlin or Munich.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** yes
- **Dormitory cost:** €327–460
- **Private housing:** €460–540
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Ludwigsburg
- **How to apply:** Students can apply for the same Studierendenwerk Stuttgart regional dormitories via the sws.de portal (EHL is officially served), or apply directly to the affiliated Karlshöhe Studienwohnheim right next to campus; the Karlshöhe application is linked to having a confirmed EHL study place, so contact the residence's Deacon (studienwohnheim@karlshoehe.de) after admission.
- **Notes:** EHL is state-recognized and, like PHL, officially served by Studierendenwerk Stuttgart, giving access to the same regional dormitories; it also runs its own affiliated Karlshöhe Studienwohnheim (about 130–147 places), though that residence is shared with the Diakonat-track program and admission is tied to acceptance of an EHL study place. Confirm current eligibility for your specific programme with the International Office, since sources don't specify equal priority across all EHL programmes. Ludwigsburg's private market runs above the German average due to proximity to Stuttgart.
