It has strong connections with the industry and is a center of university-based, non-university, and industrial research.

Read about three excellent reasons for studying at the University of Stuttgart here. 

Germany is conveniently located in the „center of europe“ and Stuttgart is located in the industry center of Germany. 

You are well situated to explore Germany and the rest of Europe during semester breaks – or even over a long weekend (with the TGV, Paris is only 3 hours away).

Stuttgart and the surrounding region is home to industry leaders such as Bosch, Porsche, Mahle, Daimler and more. 

Have the chance to experience new cultures, travel and maybe even learn a new language.  Increase your employment potential and make international connections through internships and student jobs in the industry. 

Actually, its not as expensive as you might think!  It is even cheaper than many other countries (eg. Canada, US, England)

In order to attain the necessary study permit you will need to prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself.  Currently that means providing proof that you have access to ca. 1000eur per month.
This represents the average amount a student needs to cover their living costs every month (rent, food, etc).

Here is an overview of the main monthly living expenses (can vary by person/situation):
Rent: ca. 350-600 eur
Mandatory health insurance: 130 eur
Phone/internet: 50 eur
Pass for public transportation: 35 eur
Additional costs (food, clothes, entertainment etc.): 350 eur

In addition there is:
Tuition (for non-EU)  - 1,500.00 eur per semester
Semester fees  - ca. 185.00 eur per semester

Many students, to futher supplement their lifestyle, look into research assistant positions within the university or working student contracts in the industry.
As an international student you are generally permitted to work up to 20 hours per week.
