University of Cologne

International students are required to obtain a student visa to study at the University of Cologne, as this university is situated in Germany. There is a big update on Germany visas, as the German Foreign Ministry has launched a new portal as digital.diplo.de to reduce the processing time of German student visas. Students can now apply for visas online, fill out the application form, and submit the documents. Here, the students will have to visit VFS Global only for biometrics after completing their application online. 

Due to the German public education system, SRH North Rhine-Westphalia typically charges higher tuition than the University of Cologne, a public university that charges little to free tuition for overseas students. Nonetheless, some students may find that SRH's private, practice-focused curriculum, smaller class groups, and individualised attention make up for the higher tuition. Furthermore, living expenses (housing, food, and travel) in North Rhine-Westphalia are similar to those in Cologne. The decision between the two schools may ultimately come down to personal preferences for price, curriculum, and campus life.
