"The investment in foreign students' education by the German state pays for itself within three years of graduation, and eight times over in a lifetime."
"Approximately 79,000 international students began their studies in Germany in 2022, demonstrating a strong influx of talent contributing to the economy."
A recent study highlights that international students in Germany contribute considerably to the economy, generating a net surplus that surpasses the state's educational investments. With 405,000 foreign students currently enrolled, many are drawn by the lack of tuition fees, allowing cost-effective education. The study projects that graduates who remain in Germany for work will pay significant taxes and social security, resulting in a surplus of €15.5 billion if 40% of the 2022 student cohort stays, which emphasizes the long-term economic value of these individuals to Germany.
