htw saar is a public university and charges no tuition fees for its Bachelor's and Master's programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike; its application page states that "htw saar does not charge any tuition fees". Every student pays a semester contribution of 413.30 EUR for winter 2026/27, which includes the Deutschlandsemesterticket for public transport across Germany.

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.

htw saar publishes one set of dates for all applicants. International applicants with foreign certificates first request a preliminary review documentation (VPD) from uni-assist and then apply through htw saar's own portal; request the VPD at least six weeks before the deadline. Only some Master's programmes admit new students in summer.

4 programmes are taught in English. Bachelor's: International Business and Mechanical Engineering. Master's: International Management and Neural Engineering. All other programmes are taught in German.
