Costs

Tuition fees

No fees are currently charged at our university.

 

Monthly costs

You will need about 900 Euros per month to finance your living expenses. Of course, this amount is a guideline; the actual expenses depend on the amount of rent you pay and your consumer behaviour.

 

Composition of monthly costs:

Rent at least 300 Euros
Broadcasting fee approx. 20 Euros
Health insurance approx. 130 Euros

Clothing, study materials, other needs approx. 150 Euros

 

If you need a visa, you must already prove that your livelihood is secured in Germany when you apply for the visa in your home country.
