Heidelberg University

Tuition

Tuition fees apply for non-EU students

Public universities in Baden-Württemberg charge non-EU and non-EEA students 1,500 EUR per semester for Bachelor's and consecutive Master's programmes, a state rule in place since 2017. EU and EEA students, and anyone with a German higher-education entrance qualification, are exempt. Private universities set their own, usually higher, fees. Check Heidelberg University's fee page for its exact amount. You also pay a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) of roughly 100 to 400 EUR, set by each university, which often includes a public transport pass.

Estimated monthly living costs (general estimate)

International students also need to show proof of funds (a blocked account, currently €11,904/yr (approx. €992/mo)) for the student visa. Use our blocked account calculator and cost of living calculator for a personalised estimate.

Application process

Admission requirements vary by programme and degree level. Each programme at Heidelberg University sets its own prerequisites, including academic qualifications, language proficiency, and application deadlines. See the Programmes section for the exact requirements of each course.
