## About

Landshut sits in Bavaria between Munich and Regensburg — close enough to Munich's career networks and weekend culture, but with a much lower cost of living. The city has a quiet, studious atmosphere with strong local employers in engineering and automotive sectors. Housing and food run significantly cheaper than Munich, so your scholarship or part-time work stretches further.

## Strengths

- Zero tuition for international students is rare in Europe and directly reduces the total cost of your degree.
- As a public Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften it offers practice-oriented engineering, business, health, and computer-science programmes with strong employer ties.
- Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa lets you stay and convert your degree into a work permit after graduation.
- Landshut sits in Bavaria close to Munich, giving access to one of Europe's densest engineering and automotive small and mid-sized (Mittelstand) clusters for internships.
- Bavaria's lower cost of living compared to Munich itself means your blocked-account budget of roughly €11,904 per year stretches further.
- An IELTS minimum of 6.0 is accessible and signals that English-medium study options exist alongside German-taught programmes.

## Watch out for

- Many bachelor programmes are taught in German, so CIS students without C1 German face a significant language barrier before admission.
- Non-EU school leavers often must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or have a recognised university entrance qualification before starting a degree programme.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of roughly €11,904 per year, which must be arranged before the visa.
- Landshut is a small city with a limited local job market; students seeking part-time work or internships may need to commute to Munich.
- Germany allows international students only 120 full or 240 half working days per year, restricting income during studies.
