## About

Dessau is a modernist-heritage city with extraordinary Bauhaus history, former seat of the Bauhaus school itself. It's small, affordable, and artistically alive—galleries, design studios, and a serious arts community. Student life is intimate and creative; rent is rock-bottom. You're not in a metropolis, but you're in a city with genuine cultural weight and real artistic energy.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 for non-EU students; the only compulsory payment is a semester contribution of ≈€500 per year, which funds administration and student services rather than teaching.
- IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for most CIS applicants with intermediate English preparation.
- Covers science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), arts, and business fields, offering a practical applied-sciences curriculum suited to industry entry.
- A German university degree is recognised across all EU and Schengen states, expanding graduate mobility well beyond Germany.
- Germany grants an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa, giving graduates time to find employment in the German small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) economy.
- Sachsen-Anhalt's lower cost of living compared to Munich or Hamburg stretches a tight student budget further.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes in Germany are taught in German; daily life and study in Dessau require solid German language skills.
- Non-EU school leavers whose qualification is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Proof of funds requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) holding approximately €11,904 for the visa, which must be secured upfront.
- Dessau is a small city with a limited local job and internship market, which may reduce practical experience options during studies.
- Applied-sciences universities focus on practical training rather than research; this limits direct access to research-track master's programmes at classical universities.
