Tuition

Tuition fees vary by programme

Public universities in North Rhine-Westphalia are tuition-free for consecutive Bachelor's and Master's programmes, but private universities and continuing-education programmes charge their own fees. You also pay a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) of roughly 100 to 400 EUR, set by each university, which often includes a public transport pass. Check RWTH Aachen University's fee page for its exact fees.
