Tuition fees for bachelor's programmes
German and EU citizens do not pay any tuition fees for bachelor's programmes.
Tuition fees for master's programmes
Most master's programmes offered by HFU are free of charge of German and EU citizens.
Exceptions are usually the MBA programmes. More information can be found under the individual study programmes.
Tuition fees are payable by students who come to Germany to study in Baden-Württemberg, who are neither citizens of a state which is a member of the European Union (EU) nor of a state which is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein). These students normally have a residency permit issued according to paragraph 16 of the Residency Laws (§ 16 Aufenthaltsgesetz).
Tuition fees are €1,500 Euro per semester.
Tuition fees are payable for both a bachelor's study programme and a consecutive master's study programme.

Tuition fees are also payable upon re-enrollment in cases where study is interrupted by disenrolment.
