How much does Macromedia University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?
Macromedia is a state-recognised private university and charges tuition fees. The fees for the English-taught programmes are the same for EU and non-EU students. You can pay per semester, monthly or in one payment.
| Item | Cost for international students |
|---|---|
| Bachelor (English), Berlin and Munich | 6,000 EUR per semester |

| Master (English), Munich | 6,000 EUR per semester |

These fees apply to the winter 2026 and summer 2027 intakes and may change. Macromedia offers 15% off when you apply by 31 October for a 2027 start. Macromedia does not publish a separate semester contribution. It says a local semester ticket is usually available, with a cost that depends on the campus, so confirm with the university.
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?
| Degree | Intake | Deadline (non-EU) |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor and Master (English) | October | 1 October |
| Bachelor and Master (English) | April | 1 April |
One set of dates applies to all applicants, and Macromedia says deadlines can be extended in exceptional cases. These are the start dates of the semester, so if you need a student visa, apply several months earlier to leave enough time for the visa process. You apply online directly to Macromedia.
