Graduates can stay in Germany for up to 18 months to find a job related to their degree.
Home to some of the world's largest engineering, automotive and manufacturing employers.
A growing number of master's programs are taught fully in English, especially in STEM fields.

Student Life
Student dorms (Studentenwohnheim) are affordable but competitive, so many students also look at shared flats (WGs) with local and international students. Social life is less centred on campus and more on the city — cafes, bars and cultural events are a big part of daily life.
