## About

Marburg is a medieval university town with steep cobblestone streets, student-run cafés, and a warm community feeling — the kind of place where you'll actually know people at the market. Living costs are moderate and the town has real character without being touristy.

## Strengths

- Zero tuition for international students is rare even among German public universities, making this a genuinely affordable option.
- A German university diploma carries EU-wide recognition and opens job markets across all 27 member states.
- Germany grants graduates an 18-month job-seeker visa, giving real time to convert studies into a work permit.
- Social work is a high-demand field across Germany and the EU, with strong graduate employability in the public and NGO sector.
- Marburg is a historic university town with a low cost of living compared to Frankfurt or Munich, stretching your budget further.
- An IELTS minimum of 6.0 is accessible for most CIS applicants with solid English preparation.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes at German universities of applied sciences are taught in German — strong B2/C1 German is essential for daily study and life.
- Non-EU school leavers often must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or equivalent before direct university admission in Germany.
- You must prove roughly €11,904 per year in a blocked account (Sperrkonto) before receiving a student visa — a significant upfront financial barrier.
- Theology and social work are narrowly specialised fields; career options outside the EU may be limited if you plan to return to CIS countries.
- Marburg is a small city with a limited local job market, which reduces internship and part-time work opportunities compared to larger German cities.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €424–500
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Marburg
- **How to apply:** No guaranteed access to public Studierendenwerk Marburg dormitories (its official service list covers only Philipps-Universität Marburg, not EH Tabor). EH Tabor runs its own small on-campus 'Gästehaus Tabor', offered at a discounted rate to dual-study students during in-person weeks (price not published). Most students find a room privately via wg-gesucht.de / ImmoScout24.
- **Notes:** EH Tabor is a small private, church-run theological/social-work college. It is not on Studierendenwerk Marburg's published list of served institutions, so dorm access is not guaranteed; the college's own small guest house is a partial substitute for dual-study students, otherwise students rely on Marburg's private WG market.
