How much does FHDW University of Applied Sciences for Business Hannover cost for international students?
FHDW Hannover is a private, non-profit university financed by tuition. Its Bachelor's programmes are practice-integrated: students alternate between study blocks at FHDW and work phases at a partner company. With a fixed partner company, the company pays the tuition in full or in part and may also pay a monthly allowance; a partner company is not required, and students without one pay the tuition themselves. No separate rate for non-EU students is published, and the Bachelor's programmes charge no exam fees.

| Betriebswirtschaftslehre (B.A.) | 670 EUR per month |
| BWL with International Management (B.A.) | 690 EUR per month |

Tuition fees come on top of the proof of funds, unless a partner company pays them. 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.
