<h2>Why Study in Germany?</h2>
<p>Germany is one of the world's top destinations for international students — home to 400+ universities, tuition fees that are nearly zero at public institutions (most public universities charge only a semester fee of €150–€350), a thriving job market, and one of the strongest economies in Europe. For Jordanian students, Germany offers an exceptional combination of academic excellence and affordability.</p>
<p>The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst — German Academic Exchange Service) is Germany's largest scholarship organisation. It funds over 100,000 scholars per year worldwide, making it one of the most active scholarship providers for students from the Arab world, including Jordan.</p>

<h2>Do I Need to Speak German?</h2>
<p>Not necessarily. Many DAAD-funded programs are taught in English. However, knowing German significantly expands your options and improves your application. DAAD itself offers language scholarships to prepare students before arrival.</p>
<p>If your program is in German, you will typically need a B2 level certificate (Goethe-Institut or TestDaF). Shatnawi Education can connect you with German language preparation resources.</p>
