Semester Fee

The current semester fee (only applies to first-time and new enrolments, not to re-enrolments) is displayed during online enrolment.

The regular semester fee for the winter semester 2025/2026 is 377.80 Euro.

The semester fee is made up as follows:

• Studierendenwerk: 129.00 Euro
• AStA: 17.00 Euro
• Semester ticket: 208.80 Euro
• chip card: 23.00 Euro

The semester ticket includes the Deutschlandsemesterticket for students! Further information about this: Studierendenwerk.

Please do not pay until you have received your admission letter!

If you are already in possession of a chip card, the semester fee will be reduced by 23.00 €!

Please note that the transfer can take up to 5 days even if you pay online.

If you withdraw your enrolment by the start of lectures, the semester fee will be reimbursed. In this case, the university is required to charge a fee for the cancellation of enrollment:

• for a degree program with open admission in the amount of 25.00 Euro
• for a restricted admission study program in the amount of 45.00 Euro.

If an ID card has already been issued, the amount for the chip card of 23.00 Euro cannot be reimbursed.

From winter semester 2025/26, the second degree fee will be waived

A second degree programme is defined as the acquisition of a second university degree that is thematically and formally independent of the first degree programme, for example a further Bachelor's degree in a different subject. The first Master's degree programme after a Bachelor's degree (or several) is not a second degree programme. However, a further Master's degree after completing a Master's degree is.

In the Fünften Landesgesetz zur Änderung hochschulrechtlicher Vorschriften of 17 June 2025, fees for a second degree were abolished, among other things. This means that from the winter semester 2025/26, there will no longer be any second degree fees, only the semester fee will have to be paid.

This does not affect the special fees for students who have reached the age of 60. Here, fees of EUR 700 per semester will continue to be charged in addition to the semester contribution.

Continuing Master programs are often subject to a fee. In additional to the normal semester fees, further fees are charged. The exact amount differs from degree course to degree program. Please check the corresponding course pages.
