The remaining 12 states charge no tuition fees at all. Living costs in Germany also rank among the lowest in Europe, averaging €4,800-€5,400 per year.

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. Some government organizations even offer repatriation support – up to €10,000 investment for job placement and 3-6 months of salary (about €500/month) for graduates returning to Vietnam.
6. Opportunity to live and experience one of Europe’s most advanced societies
Germany has:
- The largest economy in the EU;
- The 4th largest economy worldwide (after the USA, Japan, and China);
