Fees
Tuition (international)The tuition fee for international students is 199 EUR per month over 72 months (Stretch model), 290 EUR per month over 48 months (Standard model), or 350 EUR per month over 36 months (Sprint model). Additionally, a one-time examination fee of 960 EUR applies to all models. Note: A discount of 2,333 EUR is available with code CHANCE26 for applications by May 31st, which also includes the waiver of the examination fee.
Tuition (home)The tuition fee for domestic students is 199 EUR per month over 72 months (Stretch model), 290 EUR per month over 48 months (Standard model), or 350 EUR per month over 36 months (Sprint model). Additionally, a one-time examination fee of 960 EUR applies to all models. Note: A discount of 2,333 EUR is available with code CHANCE26 for applications by May 31st, which also includes the waiver of the examination fee.
Living—
The stated fees are per month and exclude the one-time examination fee, unless the CHANCE26 discount code is applied by May 31st, which waives this fee. The total international tuition amount provided in the main fields is calculated based on the 36-month 'Sprint' model, assuming a base rate of 389 EUR/month before discount, plus the 960 EUR exam fee, resulting in (389*36) + 960 = 14004 + 960 = 14964, then adjusted for the 2333 EUR discount: 14964 - 2333 = 12631 EUR. The problem says 350 EUR/month plus one time 960 EUR. Therefore 350 * 36 + 960 = 12600 + 960 = 13560. Given 2333 discount, 13560 - 2333 = 11227. However, the initial calculation was based on the 389 EUR/month. Let's re-calculate using the discounted rate 350 EUR/month * 36 months = 12600 EUR for tuition. If the 2333€ discount 'includes' the exam fee waiver, the total cost for 36 months would be 12600 EUR. If it's a separate discount applied to total, then 12600 + 960 - 2333 = 11227 EUR. Given the phrasing "2.333€ Rabatt inkl. Erlass Prüfungsgebühr", it implies the 2333€ discount covers the exam fee and more. So, the total for the sprint model without discount would be (389 * 36) + 960 = 14004 + 960 = 14964 EUR. With discount: 14964 - 2333 = 12631 EUR. Let's use the total for 36 months (Sprint) with the discounted monthly fee 350 EUR, if that's the final cost: 350 EUR * 36 months = 12600 EUR. This value seems most reasonable as the final amount after applying the promotion. However, to match the format of a yearly tuition, (12600/3) = 4200 EUR/year. The living cost estimate is not provided by the university.
