## About

Flensburg sits in far northern Schleswig-Holstein, close to the Danish border, with a compact student scene and moderate living costs. The city is quieter than Hamburg or Berlin, which means lower rent and fewer distractions — useful if you're focused on finishing a degree quickly.

## Strengths

- No tuition is charged, even for non-EU students — the university collects only a semester contribution of ≈€700 per year for administration and student services.
- An IELTS score of 6.0 is a realistic target for most CIS applicants, lowering the language barrier to entry.
- Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and business degrees from a German public university carry strong EU-wide recognition and small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) employer credibility.
- Graduates receive an 18-month job-seeker visa, giving real time to find employment anywhere in the EU after graduation.
- Flensburg's location on the Danish border offers cross-border internship and job access in both German and Scandinavian labour markets.
- Schleswig-Holstein imposes no additional non-EU semester fee, keeping the total cost of study among the lowest in Germany.

## Watch out for

- German is the language of daily life and many bachelor programmes; limited German proficiency will constrain social integration and course choice.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory year before the degree (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- You must prove funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of roughly €11,904 for the first year before a visa is issued.
- Flensburg is a small city of about 90,000; internship variety and industry density are limited compared with Hamburg or Berlin.
- Students may work up to 120 full or 240 half days per year, which is insufficient to cover living costs without additional savings.
