How much does Biberach University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?
Hochschule Biberach is a public university in Baden-Württemberg, so the state tuition fee for international students applies: 1,500 EUR per semester for students who are not citizens of an EU or EEA country, for Bachelor's and consecutive Master's programmes. Students with a German university entrance qualification are exempt, and further exemptions can be granted on application, for example during a practical semester that is part of the standard period of study. Students who are EU or EEA citizens pay no tuition.
All students also pay a semester contribution each semester; check the current amount with the university before you enrol.
| Item | Cost for international students |
|---|---|
| Bachelor (non-EU) | 1,500 EUR per semester |
| Master, consecutive (non-EU) | 1,500 EUR per semester |
| Bachelor and Master (EU/EEA) | No tuition fees |
Fee under the Baden-Württemberg Landeshochschulgebührengesetz (§ 3 LHGebG), in force since winter 2017/18.
The tuition fee comes on top of the proof of funds. For the student visa you still need to show 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account, and that money has to be transferred months before the semester starts.
