| Cost item | Amount | Who pays it |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition, regular degree programs | Rs.0 (€0) | Nobody |
| Semester fee (latest published, WS 2026/27) | Rs.19,741 (€182.10) | Every student, every semester |
| Of which Studierendenwerk fee | Rs.7,806 (€72.00) | Every student |
| Of which public transport pass | Rs.11,936 (€110.10) | Every student |
| Psychological Psychotherapy tuition | Rs.2,16,820 (€2,000) per semester | Students of that program |
| LL.M. Digitalization and Law tuition | Rs.2,71,025 (€2,500) per semester | Students of that program |
| uni-assist, first / each extra course | Rs.8,131 (€75) / Rs.3,252 (€30) | Most international applicants |
| Blocked account (your own money) | Rs.12,90,513 (€11,904) | Student visa applicants |
Exchange rate used: Rs.108.41 per Euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: Many families read "tuition-free" and plan only for the blocked account. The account pays out at most Rs.1,07,535 (€992) a month, so it cannot cover a lump-sum semester fee transfer. Keep about Rs.20,000 available separately.
What Does the Rs.19,741 Semester Fee at the University of Wuerzburg Cover?
The fee has two parts. The Studierendenwerk contribution (Rs.7,806, €72) supports student services such as dining facilities, student residences and counselling, and it applies even during a leave of absence. The public transport pass (Rs.11,936, €110.10) gives you local public transport in Würzburg. The winter ticket runs from 1 October to 31 March.
Has the semester fee gone up recently?
Yes, through the ticket. JMU's fee history shows the ticket at Rs.10,462 (€96.50) in WS 2025/26, Rs.11,708 (€108) in SS 2026 and Rs.11,936 (€110.10) in WS 2026/27. The Studierendenwerk fee stayed at Rs.7,806 (€72). That is a rise of Rs.1,474 (€13.60) in two semesters. Add a planning cushion of Rs.1,626 (€15) per semester until the 2027/28 figure is published.
Exchange rate used: Rs.108.41 per Euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: The pass covers Würzburg only. If your lab, internship or part-time job sits outside the city, add a travel line to your monthly plan.
Which Programs Add University of Wuerzburg Fees Beyond the Semester Contribution?
Two programs charge tuition on top of the semester fee, according to JMU's page on programs for qualified professionals:
- Psychological Psychotherapy (state examination): Rs.2,16,820 (€2,000) per semester for the first six semesters. With the semester fee, that is Rs.2,36,561 (€2,182.10) per semester.
- LL.M. Digitalization and Law: Rs.2,71,025 (€2,500) per semester in every semester of enrolment. With the semester fee, that is Rs.2,90,766 (€2,682.10) per semester.
JMU's Master application page also marks the LL.M. as fee-required. The qualified-professionals page was last updated in December 2023, so confirm both amounts for 2027/28. If you are comparing law options, read our LLM in Germany guide.
Counselor insight: Check the fee line on each program page before you shortlist. Students compare a "free in Germany" headline with an LL.M. that is not free, and the surprise arrives after the application is submitted.
How Do University of Wuerzburg Fees Compare With Other Bavarian Universities?
Bavaria lets its higher education institutions charge non-EU students, and some now do. Ohm Nürnberg charges new non-EEA undergraduate students Rs.1,08,410 (€1,000) per semester from WS 2026/27. THI Ingolstadt charges third-country students Rs.86,728 (€800) per semester at Bachelor level and Rs.1,30,092 (€1,200) at Master level from SS 2026.
Set that against Würzburg's Rs.19,741 per semester. Over two semesters, a THI Master's student pays Rs.2,60,184 (€2,400) in tuition alone. JMU's pages list no tuition for regular programs today, but a policy change for the WS 2027/28 intake cannot be ruled out. Read JMU's fee page and your admission letter before you pay anything. For other low-cost options, see our list of the cheapest universities in Germany.
Counselor insight: Students who shortlist Bavaria because "Germany is free" sometimes end up with an offer from a university of applied sciences that charges. Compare the fee line per university, not per country.
Costs Before You Arrive Beyond University of Wuerzburg Fees: APS, uni-assist, Visa and Blocked Account
JMU says international applicants usually need a preliminary review documentation (VPD) from uni-assist, and you must apply for it before you apply to JMU. uni-assist charges Rs.8,131 (€75) for the first course and Rs.3,252 (€30) for each extra course in an application semester, whatever the result of the check.
| Item | Cost | India-specific detail |
|---|---|---|
| APS certificate | Rs.18,000 | Confirm the fee, rules and processing time on aps-india.de. See our no-IELTS guide for the MOI route. |
| uni-assist VPD | Rs.8,131 (€75) first course | Pay the fee before submitting; it is charged again if you reapply for a new semester. |
| Motivation letter and CV | Rs.0 | The Mission India checklist asks for a CV and a signed motivation letter. |
| Blocked account confirmation | Rs.12,90,513 (€11,904) | Must state that no more than Rs.1,07,535 (€992) can be withdrawn monthly. |
| Health insurance certificate | About Rs.11,925 (€110) a month | Required from your intended arrival date. |
| Visa fee | Rs.8,131 (€75) | Confirm on the mission website before booking. |
Excluding the blocked account, one-time pre-arrival fees come to about Rs.34,262 for a single course (APS, uni-assist and visa). Our Germany student visa guide covers the appointment steps.
Counselor insight: Parents often move the blocked-account money first and forget the smaller fees that are paid separately. Give APS, uni-assist and the visa fee their own line in the family budget.
Living Costs Beside University of Wuerzburg Fees: What Is the Monthly Budget in INR?
JMU's costs and financing page estimates about Rs.1,08,410 (€1,000) a month for degree students.
| Expense | Monthly (INR) | Monthly (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Eating | Rs.29,813 | €275 |
| Living | Rs.40,654 | €375 |
| Health insurance | Rs.11,925 | €110 |
| Other | Rs.24,067 | €222 |
| Broadcasting fee | Rs.1,951 | €18 |
| Total | Rs.1,08,410 | €1,000 |
Over 12 months, that is Rs.13,00,920 (€12,000). A JMU page for exchange students quotes about Rs.1,01,905 (€940) a month, but degree students should use the higher figure. For city comparisons, see our cost of living in Germany page.
Counselor insight: The estimate is an average, not a quote, and housing moves it most. The Studierendenwerk runs student residences, so ask it about housing timelines as soon as you hold an admission letter.
What If Something Goes Wrong with Your University of Wuerzburg Fees Payment?
- Missed deadline: Some programs have a second window for the summer semester, so check the program row on JMU's Master page. If you reapply, uni-assist charges its fee again for the new application semester.
- English score below the requirement: JMU's Master page lists B2 for many English-taught programs and C1 for FOKUS Life Sciences. Retake your test before the window closes.
- Semester fee unpaid: JMU requires the fee at enrolment and at every re-enrolment. Pay by the method in your admission documents and keep the proof.
- Blocked account short: The mission checklist names the full first-year amount. Top up before your appointment and allow time for the transfer.
- Visa refused: Ask for the written reasons, fix the gap (financial proof, insurance or motivation letter) and reapply. Tell the JMU International Office.
- Fees rise: Use the Rs.1,626 (€15) per semester cushion from earlier and recheck JMU's fee page before each payment.
Counselor insight: Keep digital copies of every payment receipt and the blocked account confirmation. When something stalls, the first request from any office is proof of what you already paid.
