University of Freiburg Courses and Fees 2025

• The difficulty level of the curriculum was pretty high since everything was research-based and something that you wouldn't get on Google. You would have to read 100s of research papers to finish one module and create presentations or write a research paper of your own to finish the module and get grades accordingly.
• The positive aspects would be research-oriented classes and getting to know about the module on a more practical basis, rather than just studying theories. Each course had a timeline of 14 days, so every day there would be classes from 10-5. The only negative aspect would be dealing with assignments every other day and dealing with PPTs and practical classes every day.
• The average number for a class would vary from course to course. My course had around 30 students.
• In my course, there were 2 Indian students.

• The total fees semester-wise were 1650 euros (has increased now). Barring this, there were hostel fees, which were an average of 400 euros per month. There were 150 euros for food and 100 more for miscellaneous expenses.
• The fees at the college are charged semester-wise
• An estimate for monthly expenses is 850-900 euros. You have to create a blocked amount of 10,000 euros before getting the visa.

• Online platforms : I primarily used websites like WG-Gesucht.de, Studierendenwerk Freiburg (official student service), and Immobilienscout24. I have joined several Facebook groups like "WG Zimmer in Freiburg" and "Freiburg Housing/Accommodation", where people post available rooms. I also checked local WhatsApp groups and notice groups around the university and student cafes, which sometimes have postings for available rooms or roommates.
• Challenges Faced : There is a huge demand for housing, especially before the semester starts. Places get taken really quickly, and landlords often get 30-40 applications per room. Many listings are in German, and some landlords prefer German-speaking tenants. The Studierendenwerk housing is affordable but limited, so I ended up on a waiting list.
• Recommendations: Begin house search at least 2-3 months before the semester commences Early enrollment with Studierendenwerk Freiburg as their dorms are cheaper Create strong and polite profile in WG-Gesucht.de mentioning your lifestyle and hobbies Beware of scams Try considering Temporary options.

• Apply to SWFR housing, which provides student dorms, first. In case this does not work out, we need to check postings on online platforms like WG Gesucht and apply for them. There are a few dormitories that can be applied to individually.
• An accommodation crisis exists and in case we don't get proper accommodation, people have to resort to costly private housing or cheaper housing on the outskirts of the city. Each dorm is given for 6 months to 1 year, after which extension is based on luck. So house finding can be a bit stressful, especially around exams. Suggestions. Be active and send emails to all possible dorms. Check genuine WhatsApp or Instagram groups that provide sublets until a permanent accommodation is obtained.

There are exercises that are followed in every lecture. And there are special groups which can help you to overcome your shortcomings.
