University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE)

Tuition

No tuition fees for most programmes

Public universities in North Rhine-Westphalia do not charge tuition fees for consecutive Bachelor's and Master's programmes, for EU and non-EU students alike. You also pay a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) of roughly 100 to 400 EUR, set by each university, which often includes a public transport pass. Continuing-education and executive Master's programmes, which usually require work experience, can charge fees even at public universities, and private universities set their own fees, so check University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE)'s fee page for its exact fees.

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.
