Hi all,

My name is Dhruva and I'm from India. I am a BCA (Bachelors in Computer Applications) graduate. I am presently working as an IT Recruiter(Human Resource) from past one year. I want to do my MBA from a very good and recognized university in Germany as I heard the fees for international students in Germany is funded by govt in many universities. So guys can you pls help me out with this. And why I'm trying for tution free is that I'm from a middle class background and I will be taking loans to do my Master's. So it will be very helpful if anyone help me out with this.


Thanks & Regards,

Dhruva

First of all Thank you for your reply JK Duncan.

I want to know about the total fee structure or basic fee structure of the universities too. Or the universities listed in this website are all totally funded by govt?

And I was going through UCC and there, they have mentioned as Funding type - Public. What do you mean by that? Is it going to be funded by govt?

Yes, the fees are shown on that website. Use it. Some are totally funded, others are not. Public means the university is publicly owned, but some will be free, or cheap and others will be expensive.

It seems that international students often have many misconceptions when it comes to this "free tuition" kind of thing.

For example, it's commonly mistaken that you can find free or cheap MBA programs in Scandinavia. Read this article:

http://www.find-mba.com/article/460/mba-programs-in-scandinavia-northern-highlights

There are indeed MBA programs there that are "free," (for example, in Sweden,) but only if you're a domestic student who speaks the language.

You mentioned Germany. Likewise, as far as I know, there are no MBA English-language programs that allow international students to take advantage of public funding. You can find lower-cost MBA programs (Goethe is 19k EUR; HHL is 27k - both great values) but if you don't have German skills you'll find it exceedingly hard to find work there after graduation.

Or, as the old adage says, "there's no such thing as a free lunch."

That's not quite true: the lower-quality Fachhochschule have heavily subsidised programmes, most of which do not charge international students a premium. Take a look at daad.de
