Studying in Germany
Why learn German?
If you can speak German, you can:

- study free of charge at a university in Germany, Austria or Switzerland;
- visit the Berlinale, go to Munich for the Oktoberfest or join in Karneval in Cologne;
- read the latest academic publications (German is the second most popular language in academic publications, and 28% of all books published worldwide are written in German);
