Since 2017 the Land of Baden-Württemberg charges international students, who come to Germany specifically to study, €1,500 per semester for tuition. This does not apply to students from the EU or the EEA, refugees, or international students who obtained their Abitur or equivalent in Germany. Furthermore, students with strong ties to Germany are also exempt from paying the fee. For more information please visit the website of the International Office.
Scholarships
Scholarships make an important contribution to a program of study. It is not just the financial aspect that is interesting, but also the non-material support that accompanies it. A scholarship that is used efficiently can provide important support when beginning a career. The International Office can advice you on the funding of your studies.
