How much does Munich University of Applied Sciences (HM) cost for international students?
From winter semester 2026/27, HM charges tuition to new students from outside the EU/EEA, under Bavaria's new rules for international students. The fee stays the same for your whole programme.
| Item | Cost for international students |

| Tuition fee, Bachelor's (non-EU, from WS 2026/27) | 500 EUR per semester |
| Tuition fee, Master's (non-EU, from WS 2026/27) | 700 EUR per semester |

| uni-assist preliminary review (VPD, Bachelor's) | 75 EUR |

You do not pay tuition if you enrolled before winter 2026/27, hold EU/EEA citizenship, earned your school-leaving certificate in Germany (Bildungsinländer), are eligible under BAföG rules, are a recognised refugee or protected person (§55 AsylG, or from a country with a protection rate of at least 50%), or are an exchange or guest student. Continuing-education programmes charge their own fees.
For your visa you also need proof of funds of 11,904 EUR for the year (2026, Federal Foreign Office), usually in a blocked account.
What are the application deadlines?

The same dates apply to all applicants. Bachelor's applicants with foreign certificates first need a preliminary review (VPD) from uni-assist (75 EUR, allow 6–8 weeks), then apply in HM's online portal. Applicants from China, India and Vietnam also need an APS certificate. Some Master's programmes require a uni-assist pre-check too; for Business Administration: Digital Technology Management, submit to uni-assist by the end of March and apply to HM from 2 to 31 May. German-taught programmes need German at B2 (some Master's C1).
How many programmes are taught in English?
HM offers 7 degree programmes taught in English.
- Engineering Physics and Data Science (B.Sc.)

- Business Administration: Digital Technology Management (M.Sc.)
- Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation (M.A.), winter start only
- Photonics (M.Sc.)

Some of these require basic German during the programme, for example A2 by the second semester for Engineering Physics and Data Science and B1 by the fifth semester for IMADE. Micro- and Nanotechnology is taught in English and German and asks for German at A2. All other programmes are taught in German.
