Financing The Office of Alien Affairs does not issue or extend residence permits to students without guarantee of sufficient financial resources. International students in their first year are not eligible for financial aid. Work permits are generally not issued to international students by the responsible authorities. Students are permitted to work three months a year without a work permit, three additional months with a work permit.
Student jobs are extremely scarce.
Accomodation Accomodation is very difficult to find in Berlin. As soon as all the admission requirements have been met, including proof of proficiency in German, candidates will receive a letter confirming their application from the Technical University of Berlin. With this letter of confirmation a students' residence permit can be obtained at the German embassy in your home country. This visa permits enrolment in German language classes in Germany in preparation for university admission. Due to this procedure an applicant does not have to return home to apply anew for a proper student visa.
