The Academy of Fine Arts Munich charges no tuition fees for its programmes. It is a public art school funded by the state of Bavaria, and its published fees list only the semester contribution and no separate charge for students from outside the EU.

What every student pays is the semester contribution of 97 EUR per semester for winter 2026/27. The whole amount is the basic fee for Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern. Unlike most German universities, it does not include a Deutschlandticket, because the semester ticket solidarity fee is currently suspended. Students in Bavaria can order the discounted Deutschlandticket separately from MVG for 43 EUR per month.

No tuition does not mean no proof of funds. For the student visa you still need to show 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account.

The academy publishes one deadline per programme for all applicants and no separate non-EU date. Admission is once a year, for the winter semester only. The application portal opens on 15 March. 15 May is a cut-off date by which the portfolio must arrive, not a postmark date. Interior Architecture applications are digital only.

None. All degree programmes at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich are taught in German: Fine Arts (Diplom), Art Education (State examination), Interior Architecture (Bachelor and Master), Architecture and Art (Master), and Fine Arts and Therapy (Master).
