That&rsquo;s a common spot to be in when looking at NZ versus Germany. If money is tight, Germany is worth looking at first. Most public universities charge very low or no tuition for master&rsquo;s programs, even for international students. You&rsquo;ll just have to cover living expenses, which can be manageable if you pick a smaller city and work a student job. New Zealand&rsquo;s education is great, especially for accounting and finance, but it can get expensive quickly &mdash; both the fees and cost of living. Unless you have a scholarship lined up, Germany is the safer bet for your budget. The one thing you&rsquo;ll have to consider is language: many German master&rsquo;s programs are in English, but knowing a bit of German can open up more options, especially for part‑time work and later internships.

If you're low on funds and confused between Germany and New Zealand for your postgraduation in Accounts and Finance, New Zealand may be the more practical choice.
In Germany, most public universities charge no tuition fees, but many finance-related master&rsquo;s programs are taught in German. While a few English-taught options exist, they are limited and very competitive. Also, you need to show &euro;11,208 (approx. ₹10 lakhs) as proof of funds just for your visa, as per DAAD guidelines.
New Zealand, on the other hand, offers more English-taught finance programs and has better options for scholarships. Tuition fees range between NZD 26,000 to NZD 37,000 (₹13&ndash;18 lakhs), and living costs are around NZD 20,000 per year. But schools like University of Auckland and Otago offer scholarships up to NZD 20,000 to help reduce your cost.
If you&rsquo;re worried about affordability and need programs in English, New Zealand gives you a better balance between quality education, scholarships, and post-study work opportunities.

If money is tight, Germany is a strong choice because many public universities have almost no tuition &mdash; sometimes just &euro;300 per semester &mdash; and student jobs can help cover living expenses. But New Zealand can still be worth considering if you can secure a scholarship or education loan. Its universities have solid accounting and finance programs, and graduating can lead to a post‑study work visa that gives you time to find a full‑time role. Compare both options clearly: Germany means lower upfront costs and more part‑time work opportunities, while New Zealand means higher costs but a straightforward path to work and residency if you can get financial support.
