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.
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.
