How much does Harz University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?

Harz University of Applied Sciences states that students do not have to pay any tuition fees, for EU and non-EU students alike.

Every student pays a semester contribution, which differs by campus: 132.00 EUR in Wernigerode and 123.00 EUR in Halberstadt. It includes a local bus ticket for 32.00 EUR, not the Deutschlandticket. The university does not state which semester these figures apply to, so confirm the current amount before you enrol.

MasterNo tuition fees

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.
