## About

Düsseldorf is a wealthy, modern city on the Rhine with a lively international community, excellent public transport, and strong job markets in healthcare, social services, and finance. It's one of Germany's most cosmopolitan cities, with a relaxed vibe for student life.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 per year, which is rare for a private university in Germany and removes the main cost barrier.
- Fields in social work, health, and nursing align with Germany's well-documented shortage of qualified professionals in these sectors.
- An IELTS 6.0 minimum is accessible for most CIS applicants with standard university-prep English.
- Düsseldorf is a major financial and commercial hub, offering strong internship and part-time work opportunities in healthcare and social services.
- Germany grants non-EU students up to 120 full days or 240 half-days of paid work per year during studies.
- After graduation, Germany issues an 18-month job-seeker visa, giving graduates time to find employment in the EU labour market.

## Watch out for

- German is the language of daily life, administration, and many support services — limited German severely hinders integration and job search.
- Non-EU school leavers may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or prove equivalence of their secondary diploma before admission.
- Proof of funds requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) with approximately €11,904 deposited before the student visa is issued.
- Düsseldorf has one of Germany's tighter housing markets — finding affordable student accommodation takes significant time and planning.
- Social work and nursing degrees from Germany may require additional recognition procedures before being practised professionally in CIS home countries.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €450–700
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Düsseldorf
- **How to apply:** No institutional or Studierendenwerk dormitory application applies; students search the open Düsseldorf rental market (WG-Gesucht, ImmoWelt, Housing Anywhere) or ask Fliedner's Studierendenservice in Kaiserswerth for local housing leads.
- **Notes:** Fliedner Fachhochschule is not on Studierendenwerk Düsseldorf's dormitory eligibility list — it is served by the Studierendenwerk only for state student support (BAföG)/financial-aid processing, not housing. Students rely entirely on the private Düsseldorf rental market, which is tight and comparatively expensive.
