Being a student in Germany, you don´t need to pay for your education, except the semester fee. But at the same time, you need a source of money.

According to the German law (Section 16b of the Residence Act), foreigners with a student visa, are allowed to work up to 19 hours a week. See here:

The other possible solution is to apply for a scholarship. There are plenty of different financial options for different target categories of students. We have collected several useful links below, where you can find the actual and relatable information about the scholarship and funding:
