How much does it cost to study in Mannheim?

Tuition fees

Since education in Germany is subsidised by the state, tuition fees for international degree-seeking students are very affordable in the state of Baden-Württemberg: only EUR 1,500 per semester (find out more here). Additionally, students pay some administrative fees called Semesterbeitrag (semester contribution, details see below).

Exchange and double degree students from partner universities pay no tuition fees and a reduced amount regarding the semester contribution (see below).
