How much does German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer cost for international students?
The University of Speyer charges no tuition fees for its full-time Master's programmes, the M.A. Public Administration and the LL.M. Staat und Verwaltung in Europa. The exception is the part-time M.P.A. Wissenschaftsmanagement, which costs 9,920 EUR in total, paid in four instalments and including the student body contribution.

| M.P.A. Wissenschaftsmanagement (part-time) | 9,920 EUR in total |

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.
