Under the updated Skilled Immigration Act, students in Germany can work 140 full days (or 280 half days) per year. In Ireland & Italy, students work 20 hrs/week during term and 40 hrs/week during breaks, earning €13.50 – €18.00/hour.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything You Need to Know About Studying in Europe

Straightforward answers to key questions regarding European tuition fees, APS certification, blocked accounts, language requirements, and post-study opportunities:

Yes! In 15 out of 16 German federal states, public universities charge zero tuition fees for all students, regardless of nationality. Students only pay a semester administrative fee of €150 to €350, which includes a subsidized public transportation pass (Semesterticket). In Italy, public tuition is means-tested and completely waived for Indian students through regional DSU scholarships. In France, public university tuition is nominally subsidized at €243 to €3,770 per year.

Introduced in November 2022, the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS India) certificate is a mandatory document issued by the German Embassy in New Delhi. It verifies the authenticity of Indian academic credentials before university applications or visa filing. SAJO Consultancy provides end-to-end support for document compilation, DigiLocker verification, and submission to ensure seamless APS approval.

Absolutely. There are over 15,000 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs taught completely in English across Germany, Italy, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. While learning basic conversational local phrases helps in social integration and everyday part-time roles, academic coursework, lectures, and exams are conducted entirely in English.

The German Federal Foreign Office requires €11,904 per year (€992 per month) deposited into an approved blocked account provider (such as Expatrio, Coracle, or Fintiba) prior to student visa lodging. Once you arrive in Germany, this fund is unlocked and paid out to you in monthly installments of €992 to cover your accommodation, food, utilities, and health insurance.

The DSU (Diritto allo Studio Universitario) and regional equivalents (ER.GO in Emilia-Romagna, EDISU in Piedmont, LAZIODISCO in Rome) are regional welfare scholarships based on family income (ISEE Parificato). Indian students with an annual household income under €23,000–€25,000 are eligible for 100% tuition fee waiver, free university cafeteria meals, subsidized or free student hostel accommodation, and cash stipends of up to €7,500 per academic year.

Yes! A National Type D student visa and residence permit issued by any Schengen member state allows you to travel freely across all 29 Schengen area countries (including Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without needing separate visitor visas.
