FH Münster charges no tuition fees, for EU and non-EU students alike, because it is a public university funded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

What every student pays is the semester contribution: 372.01 EUR for winter 2026/27, of which 226.80 EUR is the Deutschlandsemesterticket for public transport across Germany.

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.

FH Münster states that its general deadlines are the same for applicants with German and foreign qualifications, and applications run through its own portal, not uni-assist. Some programmes have earlier selection procedures or their own dates, such as the English-taught Master's above, so check the programme page. If you need a visa, apply as early as possible.

FH Münster teaches most programmes in German. 3 Master's programmes are taught fully in English:

• Chemical Engineering (M.Sc.)
• Materials Science and Engineering (M.Sc.)
• Photonics (M.Sc.)

Several further programmes, such as International Business & Management and International Marketing & Sales, are taught in English and German and are not counted.
