How much does Hochschule Fresenius University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?
Hochschule Fresenius is a private, state-recognised university and charges tuition, paid monthly or per semester. Its English-taught programmes cost about 800 to 1,250 EUR per month, depending on the programme and campus. A one-off registration fee of 695 EUR applies. Applicants from non-EU countries pay a security deposit of 3,000 EUR, which is deducted from the tuition fees in the final semester, provided the student does not withdraw before the third semester (Master) or fifth semester (Bachelor). The university gives no validity year for these fees, so confirm them for your programme and start date.
Every student also pays a mandatory semester contribution, which includes a semester ticket for public transport within Germany (high-speed trains excluded). The university puts it at about 500 EUR in its cost overview; the amount varies by campus, so confirm it with the university.
| Item | Cost for international students |
|---|---|
| English-taught Bachelor and Master | About 800 to 1,250 EUR per month |
| Registration fee (one-off) | 695 EUR |
| Security deposit, non-EU (credited against tuition) | 3,000 EUR |
| Semester contribution | About 500 EUR, varies by campus |
Tuition fees come on top of the 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.
What are the application deadlines?
| Degree | Intake | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor and Master | March / September | No deadline; applications all year |
Hochschule Fresenius has no application deadlines, and the same rule applies to all applicants. Applications go through the university's own portal, not uni-assist. Non-EU applicants should apply early, because a visa may take several months to be issued.
