How much does Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development cost for international students?
HNEE charges no tuition fees for its full-time Bachelor's and Master's programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike, because the state of Brandenburg funds the university. Tuition fees apply only to the two part-time, work-integrated Master's programmes, Bildung – Nachhaltigkeit – Transformation and Strategisches Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement.
What every student pays is the semester contribution of 393.80 EUR for winter 2026/27, of which 226.80 EUR is the Deutschlandsemesterticket for public transport across Germany.
| Item | Cost for international students |
|---|---|
| Bachelor | No tuition fees |
| Master (full-time) | No tuition fees |
| Master (part-time, work-integrated) | Fees set in the programme's study and examination regulations |
| Semester contribution (everyone) | 393.80 EUR per semester |
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.
