18 Jun 2026 · Answered by Disha Roy Choudhury · 1 min read
Most public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees for international students at the bachelor's and master's levels. Instead, you pay a semester contribution of about €150 - €400/semester, covering administration and student services.
- Baden-Württemberg: Charges €1,500/semester for non-EU students.
- Some programs in Bavaria: Fees can be €2,000 - €6,000/semester.
- Private universities: Tuition is typically €5,000 - €20,000/year.
Living costs are extra, usually €900 - €1,200/month. All figures are current but subject to change.
