How much does Technical University of Berlin cost for international students?
TU Berlin charges no tuition for Bachelor's and consecutive Master's programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike, because Berlin does not charge tuition at its public universities. Fees apply only to continuing education programmes such as the MBA programmes.
| Item | Cost for international students |
|---|---|
| Bachelor's and consecutive Master's | No tuition fees |
| Semester contribution (winter 2026/27) | 379.06 EUR per semester (226.80 EUR Deutschlandticket + 50 EUR administrative fee + 85 EUR studierendenWERK Berlin + 14.56 EUR student body + 2.70 EUR semester ticket social fund) |
The amount is set each semester, so it can change.
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.
What are the application deadlines?
TU Berlin applies the same deadlines to applicants with foreign certificates as to everyone else, but they must also obtain a preliminary review documentation (VPD) from uni-assist issued for TU Berlin; this also applies to Master's applicants. Deadlines are cut-off dates, and incomplete applications are rejected. Not every programme admits in the summer semester.
