## About

Stuttgart is a major industrial city in Baden-Württemberg, home to Daimler and Bosch headquarters and a thriving tech scene. Student neighbourhoods are livelier than the corporate centre—good bars, parks along the Neckar river, and an international student base. Living costs are moderate to high for Germany, but less than Munich.

## Strengths

- Public university with €0 tuition for non-EU students — rare for Baden-Württemberg, where most charge €1,500 per semester.
- Strong specialisation in agriculture, natural sciences, and economics makes it a focused research environment for those fields.
- An EU degree from a German public university is widely recognised by employers across Europe and internationally.
- Stuttgart's industrial economy provides strong internship access in food technology, agribusiness, and economics sectors.
- Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa gives graduates meaningful time to secure employment after graduation.
- IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for motivated CIS students without top-band scores.

## Watch out for

- Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU students €1,500 per semester at most public universities — verify whether Hohenheim's €0 tuition applies to your programme and citizenship.
- Most bachelor programmes are taught in German; limited English instruction means a C1 German level is often required for admission.
- Non-EU school leavers typically must complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or equivalent before direct bachelor admission in Germany.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) — roughly €11,904 for one year — before a student visa is issued.
- Stuttgart has a tight housing market; securing affordable student accommodation near campus requires early planning and is not guaranteed.
