Students at a private university are eligible for government support according to the German Training Assistance Act (BAföG). The amount of support depends on your income and assets. If you are eligible for support, you should fill out the application form as soon as possible upon being accepted to University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE). 

The BAföG financial support typically consists of a combination of grant and interest-free loan, with half of the support being provided as a grant. To ensure affordability, there is a maximum repayment limit of EUR 10,010 for the loan portion, giving students peace of mind knowing they won't have to repay more than this amount.

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.

You can learn more about Flywire at the bottom of this page.

• Innovation HUB: € 200 for the areas of Brandenburg and Berlin of the Berlin public transport company BVG (2023)

All costs are integrated in the monthly study fee, including the matriculation fee, examination fees, bachelor thesis fee, the Leadership Assessment Center, or similar. (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.
