TU Braunschweig Fees 2027-28: Tuition, Semester Contribution and First-Year Cost in INR

TU Braunschweig Fees 2027-28: Is Tuition Really Free?

TU Braunschweig fees are a semester contribution plus a few small charges, not tuition. Lower Saxony’s official study portal confirms that state universities no longer charge tuition, and the university’s costs page says general tuition ended with WS 2014/15.

The latest published semester contribution is Rs.51,224 (€472.50) for WS 2026/27. The WS 2027/28 amount is not published yet, so use it as your planning figure.

Exchange rate used: Rs.108.41 per Euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.

Counselor insight: Families read "no tuition" and stop budgeting. The semester contribution is mandatory and rises over time, so plan for it every semester. Our cost of studying in Germany guide shows how this compares nationally.

What Does the TU Braunschweig Semester Fee Cover?

The WS 2026/27 contribution has three parts:

• Student services: Rs.16,262 (€150), which supports the Studierendenwerk that runs the halls of residence and canteens.
• Student body: Rs.26,831 (€247.50), which includes the Deutschland Semester Ticket.
• Administration: Rs.8,131 (€75).

Two semesters at this rate come to Rs.1,02,447 (€945).

Has the semester fee gone up recently?

Yes. The summer 2026 contribution was Rs.47,700 (€440), so the rise to WS 2026/27 is Rs.3,523 (€32.50) in one semester. As a planning cushion, not a forecast, add Rs.3,252 (€30) 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: Students see Rs.51,224 and assume it is tuition. It is not. It buys the transport ticket and student services you will use from your first week, so treat it as a fixed cost, not a negotiable one.

Why Do TU Braunschweig Fees Look Different on Other Websites?

Third-party pages repeat old or mislabelled numbers. This article does not name them because none is a university source.

Counselor insight: Check the date and the breakdown on any fee page. A number that calls the semester contribution "tuition", or that has no three-part split, is a red flag.

When Do Other TU Braunschweig Fees Apply?

Long-term fees. Once your study credit runs out, you pay Rs.54,205 (€500) per semester. For a regular Bachelor's the credit is the standard period plus six semesters. For a Master's after a Bachelor's from abroad, the credit is double the Master's standard period, which means 4 + 4 = 8 semesters for a four-semester program. Time spent on leave, caring for a child or relative, or in a study-related stay abroad does not use up the credit.

programs with tuition. Some further-education programs charge tuition, and guest auditors pay Rs.5,421 (€50) or Rs.10,841 (€100) per semester. Check the program page before you apply.

Late payment. Re-registration payments are due by 1 August for winter and 1 February for summer. A reminder carries a Rs.1,626 (€15) charge, and unpaid fees can lead to de-registration.

Exchange rate used: Rs.108.41 per Euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.

Counselor insight: Prior study at a German state university reduces your credit. If you plan a second degree in Germany, count your semesters before you start.

Application and Pre-Arrival Costs Beside TU Braunschweig Fees

The assessment fee is paid once, even if you apply to several programs. You are exempt if you hold a national German scholarship such as DAAD, if you already paid for a previous TU Braunschweig application (give the prior number), or if you are already enrolled and applying for a different program.

Excluding the blocked account, one-time pre-arrival fees come to about Rs.34,262 (assessment fee, APS and visa). Our Germany study visa guide covers the appointment steps. [EDITOR: add link to the TU Braunschweig acceptance rate article once live.]

Counselor insight: A second-choice program at the same university costs no extra assessment fee. Keep your application number, because it is also the key to the exemption if you reapply.

Living Costs Beside TU Braunschweig Fees: What Is the Monthly Budget in INR?

The university's financing page estimates Rs.1,23,045 (€1,135) a month.

An older page shows Rs.1,07,543 (€992), which is the amount the immigration office expects you to have available each month. Treat it as the floor, not the budget.

Housing is the biggest swing. The housing page lists ten halls of residence with over 2,200 rooms. A shared-flat room runs Rs.32,523 to Rs.54,205 (€300 to €500), and a small flat Rs.43,364 to Rs.54,205 (€400 to €500) in base rent. With utilities, expect Rs.59,626 to Rs.70,467 (€550 to €650). Halls ask for a deposit of one month's rent. See also our cost of living in Germany guide.

Counselor insight: The university advises applying for a dormitory place before your admission letter arrives, so start the housing search when you apply, not after you are admitted.

Total TU Braunschweig Fees and First-Year Cost: Three Scenarios

Two semester contributions (Rs.1,02,447) plus 12 months of living (Rs.14,76,544) come to Rs.15,78,992 (€14,565). Your blocked account of Rs.12,90,513 (€11,904) is living money, not an extra cost, but it falls Rs.2,88,479 (€2,661) short of that total. Pre-arrival fees add about Rs.34,262.

If you are a final-year BTech student graduating in May 2027 and applying to an English-taught Master's, plan for Rs.16,13,254 in year one, which is Rs.15,78,992 plus Rs.34,262. If you plan to borrow, the Mission India FAQ treats an education loan as additional to the blocked account, not a replacement. Our cost of an MS in Germany guide shows how this compares with other cities.

If you are a parent comparing rent options, a shared-flat room at Rs.32,523 (€300) instead of the budgeted Rs.54,205 (€500) saves Rs.21,682 a month, or Rs.2,60,184 a year. Keep the official figure in your budget until you hold a signed agreement.

If you expect your thesis to run long, remember the 8-semester credit for a four-semester Master's after an Indian Bachelor's. Each semester beyond it costs Rs.54,205 (€500), on top of the contribution.

Counselor insight: Give the family one sheet with three lines: fixed fees, living money released monthly from the blocked account, and a cushion of at least Rs.2,88,479. That cushion is the gap families most often miss. For engineering options, see our top engineering universities in Germany guide.

What If TU Braunschweig Fees Rise or a Payment Goes Wrong?

• Fees rise: Use the Rs.3,252 (€30) per semester cushion and recheck the costs page before each payment.
• First payment missing at enrolment: The contribution is due with your enrolment, so pay by the method in your enrolment documents and keep the proof.
• Re-registration late: You receive a reminder with a Rs.1,626 (€15) charge. Unpaid fees can lead to de-registration, so pay within the reminder period.
• Wrong transfer reference: Use the reference format shown on the costs page or in your documents, and contact the Student Office if the payment is not matched.
• Blocked account short: The mission checklist names the full first-year amount. Top up before your visa appointment and allow time for the transfer.
• Credit running out: Count your semesters early and speak to your program coordinator if delays are likely.
• Visa refused: Ask for the written reasons, fix the gap and reapply. Tell the university.

Counselor insight: Keep every receipt and the blocked account confirmation in one folder. When a payment stalls, the first request from any office is proof of what you already paid.
