## About

Munich is Germany's wealthiest city and the centre of Bavaria's tech and automotive sectors. It attracts a large international student body but commands higher living costs than most German cities. Public transport is excellent; the Alps and lakes are within weekend reach.

## Strengths

- At €7,200 per year, tuition is moderate for a private German university, where public alternatives often charge zero for EU students but are highly competitive.
- An IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for CIS applicants with solid but not advanced English preparation.
- Fields in social sciences, business, and education align well with growing demand in both Germany and CIS home markets.
- München is Germany's third-largest city with a dense small and mid-sized (Mittelstand) and corporate economy, offering strong internship and part-time work prospects.
- A German university degree carries EU-wide academic recognition, and graduates can apply for an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa.
- Germany grants international students up to 120 full days or 240 half-days of work per year, supporting part-time income during studies.

## Watch out for

- This is a private university: at €7,200 per year you pay significantly more than at tuition-free public German universities in most Bundesländer.
- Daily life and many administrative processes in München are conducted in German; limited German proficiency creates a real practical barrier.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised in Germany may need to pass a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or equivalent bridging course before admission.
- Before receiving a student visa, you must open a German blocked account (Sperrkonto) with roughly €11,904 to prove 12 months of living costs.
- München has one of Germany's tightest rental markets; finding affordable student accommodation takes significant time and budget planning.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** yes
- **Dormitory cost:** €350–550
- **Private housing:** €750–850
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of München
- **How to apply:** Apply online via the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern housing portal (windows: 15 May for winter semester, 15 Nov for summer semester; 1–7 semester waitlist, 25% of vacated places reserved for 1st/2nd-semester students) — or skip the wait and book directly through SDI's own Campus SDI studio/shared apartments via an online enquiry form.
- **Notes:** SDI is one of 16 higher-education institutions served by Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern, so enrolled students can apply for a subsidized dorm room. SDI additionally runs its own on-campus Campus SDI apartments (studio ~€970/month, shared double ~€635/person/month) with no waitlist, a faster but pricier alternative.
