Viadrina charges no tuition for Bachelor and consecutive Master programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike. It is a public university funded by the state of Brandenburg. The exception is continuing-education Master's programmes, which charge a fixed programme fee.

Every student pays the semester contribution: 402.80 EUR for new students in winter 2026/27 (100 EUR for the Studierendenwerk, 19 EUR for the student body, a 51 EUR enrolment fee, 226.80 EUR for the Deutschlandsemesterticket and 6 EUR for the student card). Returning students pay 396.80 EUR.

Figures for winter 2026/27.

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.

Applicants with a foreign school or university qualification apply via uni-assist. For programmes without admission limits, the 15 July deadline for foreign qualifications falls earlier than the date for applicants with a German qualification. If you need a visa, apply early to leave time for the uni-assist check and your visa appointment.
