Hi everyone! I'm going to study on master programme for two years.
Some time ago I had already spent about two weeks in Berlin and Koeln (Cologne), and thus I cannot give much info... But will share here I've already collected.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

Collect all documents for visa and reserve a recommended money amount to open a blocked account in a german bank as soon as possible before you are given a letter of acceptance from your university.
