How much does Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?

Every student in a classroom-based programme pays a semester contribution, which includes the Deutschlandsemesterticket for local and regional transport across Germany. THB gives the amount only as approximately 320 EUR, so check the exact figure with the university before you pay.

BachelorNo tuition fees
Master (consecutive)No tuition fees

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, and that money has to be transferred months before the semester starts.
