class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian students pay Rs.1,62,120 (\u20ac1,500) in tuition per semester at the University of T\u00fcbingen, because every public university in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg charges students from outside the EU and EEA.<a href=\"https:\/\/uni-tuebingen.de\/en\/study\/organizing-your-studies\/fees\/tuition-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> The university states<\/a> that this fee is charged on top of the general semester fee. Over a full program, that adds up to Rs.3,24,240 (\u20ac3,000) a year, Rs.6,48,480 (\u20ac6,000) for a 2-year Master&#8217;s and Rs.9,72,720 (\u20ac9,000) for a 3-year Bachelor&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state has charged this fee since the 2017-18 winter semester. The 2027-28 amounts are not published yet, so every figure in this guide is the latest published number from 2026. Check the official page before you apply. If you are comparing other state universities, our guide to<a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/university-of-freiburg-fees\/\"> University of Freiburg fees<\/a> shows the same \u20ac1,500 rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Student category<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Tuition per semester<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>In INR<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Non-EU, Bachelor&#8217;s or consecutive Master&#8217;s<\/td><td>\u20ac1,500<\/td><td>Rs.1,62,120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EU or EEA citizen<\/td><td>\u20ac0<\/td><td>Rs.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Second degree after a degree completed in Germany<\/td><td>\u20ac650<\/td><td>Rs.70,252<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Doctoral student<\/td><td>\u20ac0 (automatic)<\/td><td>Rs.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Partner-agreement exchange student<\/td><td>\u20ac0 (automatic)<\/td><td>Rs.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Stiftung scholar<\/td><td>Exempt on application<\/td><td>Rs.0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Exchange rate used: Rs.108.08 per euro.

Tuebingen sits in the one state where that does not hold for non-EU students, so put the Rs.1,62,120 line into your budget before you shortlist, not after you get an offer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Pays_University_of_Tuebingen_Fees_and_Who_Is_Exempt\"><\/span><strong>Who Pays University of Tuebingen Fees and Who Is Exempt<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You pay the \u20ac1,500 fee if you are a non-EU citizen starting a Bachelor&#8217;s, a consecutive Master&#8217;s or a Staatsexamen program, according to the university&#8217;s fee page. Most Indian applicants fall into this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does the \u20ac1,500 apply to every Master&#8217;s?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university names consecutive Master&#8217;s programs in its rule. Ask the program&#8217;s admissions contact in writing before you apply, and keep the reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are doctoral students exempt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, doctoral enrolment is exempt automatically, and so are exchange students under partnership agreements and double-degree students where the partner contract waives fees, as the university&#8217;s exemption list shows. Holders of a Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Stiftung scholarship can be exempt too, but only after they take action (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the second-degree fee?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who already finished degree studies in Germany and start a second degree or a second consecutive Master&#8217;s pay Rs.70,252 (\u20ac650) per semester, plus the semester fee, per the fee page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I apply for an exemption?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait for the official fee notice, then apply for the exemption before lectures start at the latest. Attach proof of your category, such as a scholarship award letter, so the Student Administration can decide without a second round of emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Applicants with an Indian first degree sometimes assume they qualify for the Rs.70,252 second-degree rate.

Plan for up to Rs.16,10,824 (\u20ac14,904) of visa-stage proof, because an education loan or a university payment confirmation can replace the tuition part.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you receive a Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Stiftung scholarship,<\/strong> you may be exempt from the tuition fee.
