How much money do I need to spend in order to pursue MBA from Germany?

My friend has applied for Germany her answer is given below I have applied for an MBA at a handful of business schools in Germany. I have looked at maybe around 70 such schools, both private and public, both known and relatively unknown. I have come to the conclusion that the MBA, possibly due to its high profit potential, is likely to be a chargeable program, even among the public universities (public education is free across states but not necessarily across all programs). Meanwhile, private universities that offer an MBA charge a pretty penny. From the various sources that I have come across, I can conclude that the top-tier schools for an MBA in Germany are WHU, ESMT, Mannheim, HHL, and University of Cologne. Among these, University of Cologne is the cheapest (maybe even free; I didn't delve into UofC as its application deadlines were out-of-sync for me). All of the other schools mentioned charge sky-high rates, and that I believe is due to their demand among student applicants. The highest cost I have seen is ESMT at 36k euro. Tuition of many of the top-tier schools falls within the 25-32k range. Cologne Business School, a good school that does not chart as consistently as most top b-schools, charges around 22k. ESB in Reutlingen, a top-tier b-school housed in a public university, charges 6.9k for its year-long program. Bottomline: if you are fortunate enough to secure placement AND a scholarship or some form of financial aid going into these programs, then that would be slam dunk of an opportunity.
