Expect some but minimal fees for engineering programs.

A good way to start is to read up on German education on wiki. You'll get an idea how different it is from our system. There are applied science universities and normal universities. So depending on what sort of academic experience you are looking to acquire, the place you end up would be different.

It's good that you consider Germany other than the same old UK and Australian options.

Thanks! I researched through about studying there, and I understand there are many kinds of school since they are currently revamping their education platform to suit international standards. If possible getting a engineering degree that is accredited and recognized internationally is my first choice. I understand that in the academia world, having the correct title is important.

That said, I'm still looking for an affordable proper education platform. I'm very worried about the cost of study, but hopefully I can get in a university with plenty of part-time job.

I've learnt my lesson when I studied in a quiet town with very little working place. It was hard to find small jobs, and most of them are night duties( which I'm very bad at, my eyes automatically shut at night).

Then you must acquire some German. In the long run, it would benefit you too.

Odd part time jobs are aplenty. Go for it.

I can tell you that it is affordable to live in Germany as a student. You could absolutely get by with 100+ euros on groceries per month if you shop at Aldi or Lidl. Prepared meals can also be bought around 6-7 euros. As for rental, I'm not too sure, but i would say it's affordable. 200-400 if you share.

What type of engineering are you thinking of?

A2 is reachable within 2-3 months in an intensive environment. No need two years. If you spend 2 years going to classes, you will be at B1+ or B2 already.

Though German would not be required in classes but if you intend to work part time and after your graduate in Germany, then German will bring you far.

Without a working proficiency of that language will severely restrict the opportunities you have in DACH. Ask that guy who works in Germany. Kein Deutsche, keine Arbeit....

If you end up working in operations, trade, import-export, you are suddenly the ideal candidate because of your Germany acquired qualification, speak German, English and Malay and presumably Mandarin and Cantonese......an expat package in Msia or Asia after a few years there is very very likely.
