Germany offers extensive financial and social support for students, including:
- Subsidized meals in student cafeterias;
- Free public transportation within the state;
- Discounts at tourist attractions;
- Excellent healthcare benefits at minimal insurance cost.
With over 500 major multinational companies operating in Germany (out of 45,000 foreign enterprises), job prospects are abundant.

Germany has:
- The largest economy in the EU;
- The 4th largest economy worldwide (after the USA, Japan, and China);
