The university awards each semester partial scholarships for the length of one year. The selection process is managed by University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE).

Many financial institutions, such as Deutsche Bank, Sparkasse or Volksbank, and Raiffeisenbank, offer school loans with flexible monthly payment options. They allow you to negotiate individual terms at a low yearly interest rate.

EU applicants

There is no reservation fee for EU citizens.

Non-EU applicants

Once you are accpeted as a student, you will be asked to pay a reservation fee of € 3,000. The reservation fee is a one-time payment that will sercure your spot and that will be deducted from the total cost of the programme, before you are invoiced for tuition.

For example: If your total programme costs 30,000 € and the reservation fee is paid (3,000 €), you would only be invoiced for the remaining 27,000 € in tuition once you start studying.

We have partnered with Flywire in order to streamline the process of this fee. Flywire allows you to pay securely from any country and any bank, generally in your home currency. Once you are accepted as a student you will be asked to pay the reservation fee of 3,000 €. The payment can be done via the Flywire Payment Terminal.

(as long as the study program is completed within the standard period of study). The costs for the Semester abroad are not included in the tuition fee, as there are significantly different fees and living costs depending on the destination country and university.
