## About

Stralsund sits on the Baltic coast near Sweden, with a Hanseatic old town and easy access to beaches and Scandinavian day trips. The city feels quieter than Berlin but has a vibrant summer atmosphere and significantly lower living costs than major German hubs.

## Strengths

- Zero tuition for international students makes this a rare affordable public university option in Germany.
- An IELTS 6.0 entry bar is moderate, accessible to most prepared CIS applicants without top scores.
- Engineering, computer science, and business degrees align with Germany's small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) and tech-sector hiring demand.
- A German EU diploma unlocks the 18-month post-study job-seeker visa and pan-European labour mobility.
- Students may work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year to offset living costs.
- Stralsund's Baltic coast location means lower cost of living compared to Munich, Frankfurt, or Hamburg.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes in Germany are taught in German; daily life and many courses require B2–C1 proficiency.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised university entrance qualification typically must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) first.
- Opening a blocked bank account (Sperrkonto) with roughly €11,904 is required for the student visa — a significant upfront financial commitment.
- Stralsund is a small city with a limited local job market, reducing internship and part-time work options.
- Public German universities can introduce or raise non-EU semester fees without notice, as seen in Baden-Württemberg.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** yes
- **Dormitory cost:** €200–330
- **Private housing:** €330–380
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Stralsund
- **How to apply:** Apply anytime via the Studierendenwerk Greifswald online portal — there is no fixed deadline, and room reservation is possible even before formal admission due to high demand. Exchange students applying through the university's International Office receive a housing guarantee; priority also goes to students with disabilities or dependents.
- **Notes:** Housing is managed by Studierendenwerk Greifswald (not Rostock-Wismar, a common misconception), which runs the on-campus Holzhausen complex (274 places) directly at Hochschule Stralsund, priced €180–254/month all-inclusive. Private WG-Zimmer typically run €265–450/month based on current listings, not an aggregated official statistic.
