Are Master's programmes in Germany really free?

Yes, for most public universities. Nearly all federal states charge zero tuition for Master's degrees, including for non-EU students. The only exception is Baden-Württemberg, which charges non-EU students 1,500 EUR per semester. All students pay a semester contribution of 150 to 350 EUR. Private university programmes cost 10,000 to 30,000 EUR per year.

Do I need APS for a German Master's application?

Students from India, China, Vietnam, and Pakistan must complete APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) verification before applying. APS checks academic documents and issues a certificate required by most universities. The process takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on country and document completeness.
