Hof University is a public university and charges no tuition fees for its regular Bachelor's and Master's programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike. The exception is the Graduate School: its five English-taught Master's programmes (Digitalization and Innovation, General Management, Operational Excellence, Software Engineering for Industrial Applications and Sustainable Engineering and Project Management) cost 3,300 EUR per semester, 13,200 EUR for the four semesters, plus an administrative fee of about 150 EUR per semester. These fees apply to students starting from winter 2022/23 and must be paid each semester; instalments are not possible.

Every student pays a semester contribution. For winter 2026/27 the semester ticket costs 61.22 EUR; the Studierendenwerk basic contribution was 87 EUR in summer 2026 (145.99 EUR in total), which puts winter 2026/27 at about 148 EUR. The semester ticket covers regional routes only; the Deutschlandticket is not included and is offered separately at a reduced price.

For your student visa you also 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.

These are the dates for applicants whose school-leaving or university qualification was obtained outside the EU; for several Master's programmes they are earlier than the EU dates. You apply through Hof's own PRIMUSS portal, free of charge. All Bachelor's applicants with a foreign school certificate, and applicants to several Master's programmes, first need a uni-assist preliminary review documentation (VPD), which you upload with your application; send your documents to uni-assist at least four weeks before the deadline.
