APOLLON is a private, state-recognised distance-learning university and charges tuition in monthly instalments. Bachelor's programmes run 36 or 48 months and Master's programmes 18 to 32 months. There are no additional internal examination fees, and no separate rates for non-EU students are published. Students abroad receive study materials free of charge but pay the local host's fee for supervised exams.

There is no semester contribution and no Deutschlandticket, since APOLLON has no Studierendenwerk or student body contribution.

A German student visa requires a degree programme that has to be studied in Germany, and programmes that can be completed online generally do not qualify (Administrative Court Berlin, 28 November 2025, 11 K 175/25). If you do come to Germany on a student visa for another programme, you need proof of funds of 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account.

One rule applies to all applicants; there are no fixed start dates or semesters. Foreign school-leaving qualifications must be equivalent to a German one, which may require a recognition check, and must be submitted as officially certified copies.

None. No APOLLON programme is taught in English, including those with English names.
