Universities in Germany are now free of tuition fees for all including international students which has attracted a lot of attention from students all around the world. In 2014, Lower Saxony became the last of seven german states to abolish their tuition fees, which were already low enough to possibly provide a better future for more individuals. YAY!

German universities had been charging for tuition since 2006 and they realised that German universities has proven unpopular and the German states began dropping them one by one. It is now all gone which means that both domestic and international undergraduate students at public universities in Germany are able to study in Germany for free, with just a small fee to cover for administration. (usually priced at 150 Euro and 250 Euro depending on which University you apply to). Please take note that you may also need to pay for your living expenses while you're there, like food, transport, accommodation, entertainment, course materials and other necessities.

Free education is a concept that is embraced in most of Europe with notable exceptions like the UK, where the government voted to lift the cap on university fee's in 2010, and tripled the tuition fees therefore. The measure has reportedly cost more money than it brought in and reported that students are failing to pay back student loans.
