Verify tuition / fees: public universities often have little or no tuition for international students (aside from a semester fee), but private unis charge higher fees.
Admission requirements: usually good bachelor’s degree, proof of English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS), sometimes GMAT, GRE depending on field.
Living costs & location: large cities like Munich, Berlin are more expensive; smaller towns are cheaper. Also consider housing, transport.
Job / internship opportunities and language: while you study in English, knowing German can open many job / internship doors in Germany. Some universities offer German language support.
