What is considered an expensive amount for education in Germany?

Any tuition fee above €1,500 per semester or annual costs over €10,000 - €15,000 is considered expensive for education in Germany.

Most public universities charge only a semester contribution of €100 - €400, which covers administration and public transport. Private universities and specialized programs (like MBAs) can cost €8,000 - €20,000 per year or more. Non-EU students in Baden-Württemberg pay additional tuition of €1,500 per semester.

Living expenses are typically €992/month, so programs charging significantly more in tuition are seen as costly.
