## About

Aalen is a small industrial town in Baden-Württemberg, the economic heart of southern Germany. It's unpretentious and deeply embedded in Germany's culture of small and mid-sized manufacturers (Mittelstand). Rent is cheap; student life revolves around the university and local workshops. You're not in a glamorous city, but you're in the beating heart of German engineering—surrounded by precision manufacturing, robotics firms, and machine-tool companies that hire graduates.

## Strengths

- At €3,000 per year, tuition is very low compared to most private German and European universities.
- The broad field mix — science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), medicine, business, and arts — means you can change direction without transferring.
- A German university degree is recognised across all EU/Schengen countries, opening a 27-country labour market.
- Germany grants an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa, giving you time to secure employment after graduation.
- Aalen sits in Baden-Württemberg's industrial heartland, where automotive and precision-engineering firms offer strong internship pipelines.
- Students can work up to 120 full or 240 half days per year, partially offsetting living costs.

## Watch out for

- Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU students an extra €1,500 per semester on top of stated tuition — budget accordingly.
- Germany requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) holding roughly €11,904 as financial proof before a student visa is issued.
- Most bachelor programmes at applied universities are taught in German; an IELTS 6.0 alone is insufficient without German B2–C1.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised Abitur-equivalent may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Aalen is a small city; its student social scene and specialist job market are more limited than in Munich or Stuttgart.
