## About

Aschaffenburg is a town between Frankfurt and Darmstadt with a quiet, workable student vibe — affordable housing, reliable public transport, and local culture without major-city noise. It's close enough to Frankfurt's job market to matter, but small enough that you're not fighting for lab space or attention.

- An IELTS 6.0 entry bar is accessible for most CIS applicants with solid upper-intermediate English.
- Applied engineering, business, and computer science align directly with Germany's small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) job market.
- A German EU diploma grants access to the 18-month post-study job-seeker visa across the entire Schengen zone.
- Aschaffenburg sits between Frankfurt and Nuremberg, offering proximity to major corporate and tech employers.
- Students in Germany may work up to 120 full days per year, allowing part-time income to offset living costs.

## Watch out for

- Non-EU students must prove roughly €11,904 per year in a blocked bank account (Sperrkonto) before a visa is issued.
- Daily life, administration, and many bachelor programmes are conducted in German, requiring significant language investment.
- Non-EU school leavers often must pass a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or equivalent before gaining direct university admission.
- Aschaffenburg is a small city; its internship and social scene is narrower than Frankfurt or Munich.
- Accommodation in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region is tight and rents have risen sharply in recent years.
