Germany: The perfect destination for Dutch students
With over 450,000 international students as of 2022/23, Germany is a popular destination for students around the world. The Netherlands and Germany have a long history of student mobility, and Dutch students choose to study in Germany for several reasons. These include the country’s global reputation for academic excellence, the low cost of living and tuition and the rich employment opportunities during and after studies available to Dutch students.
Visa
Dutch students do not require a visa to study in Germany. You must have proof of €11,208 for one year (€934 per month) – this money can be in any accessible bank account, and students also need to obtain health insurance coverage.
Tuition

Housing
Germany is relatively affordable when it comes to housing, on average in Germany rent is €410 per month for accommodation. In Berlin, expect your student accommodation to cost between €500 – €1,300 per month depending on your living situation.
Degree
At Gisma, we offer a range of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes in the fields of business, engineering and technology. Our undergraduate programmes take between three to four years to complete and our postgraduate degrees are one to two years.
Post-graduation opportunities
Gisma’s Career Services team works hard to bridge the gap between our students and the industry, giving students the opportunity to network and connect with some of Germany’s leading employers in a range of industries. Dutch students can stay and work in Germany after graduation with the same working rights as German citizens.
