## About

Würzburg is a baroque jewel in Franconia, famous for its prince-bishop's palace and wine culture. The city feels intimate, walkable, and deeply rooted in tradition. Student life centres on wine taverns and the Main river; cost of living is low, and the atmosphere is genteel without being stuffy.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 — the only compulsory payment is a semester contribution of ≈€310 per year covering administration and student services, one of the lowest rates in Germany.
- An EU degree is recognised across Schengen member states, giving graduates broad labour-market access beyond Germany.
- Germany grants 18 months post-study job-seeker visa, letting graduates stay and convert a degree into employment.
- The university covers medicine, natural sciences, humanities, law, economics, and computer science — strong match for diverse academic goals.
- Würzburg is a compact student city with a lower cost of living than Munich or Frankfurt, easing the budget pressure on CIS students.
- Bavaria's dense small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) and technology sector create internship and part-time work opportunities accessible under Germany's 120 full-day annual student work rights.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes at German public universities are taught in German — a C1 level is typically required before admission.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before university entry.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) — approximately €11,904 per year — which must be set up before the visa is issued.
- Würzburg is a mid-size city; the local job market for highly specialised roles is narrower than in Berlin, Munich, or Hamburg.
- Accommodation in popular German student cities is tight; early application to university housing is essential as private-market rents have risen sharply.
