Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences

Frankfurt UAS is a public university in Hessen; no general tuition fees are charged for bachelor's or consecutive master's programmes regardless of nationality. The semester contribution for Winter 2026/27 is €406.78, comprising a base fee (€226.80), Studierendenwerk social contribution (€106.50), administration fee (€50.00), and student organisation contributions including the Deutschlandticket (€23.48). Payment is due by 1 September for the winter semester and 1 March for the summer semester; a €30 late fee applies up to 15 days after the deadline. A small number of non-consecutive/part-time postgraduate programmes (e.g. MBA Aviation and Tourism Management, M.A. Counseling in the Workplace) carry additional programme-specific tuition fees.

International applicants holding a non-German qualification apply through the International Office ([email protected]). Entry requirements depend on the target programme and whether the applicant's school-leaving or bachelor's qualification is recognised under the anabin database. German-taught programmes require German language proficiency (typically B2/C1; exact level is programme-specific). English-taught master's programmes specify their own language requirements per programme. Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants whose prior qualification was obtained in those countries must hold an APS certificate (issued by the German Embassy/Consulate) before the visa application — this is a German consulate requirement, not university-specific. The Student Services Centre ([email protected]) handles enrolment; the Info-Center (+49 69 1533-0) can direct queries to the correct admission team.

The university publishes application deadlines per programme through its online application portal. The winter semester runs 1 October – 31 March (lectures mid-October to late January); the summer semester runs 1 April – 30 September (lectures mid-April to mid-July). International applicants are advised to contact the International Office well in advance to confirm programme-specific deadlines, as these vary. Re-registration payment for continuing students is due by 1 September (winter) or 1 March (summer).

Most bachelor's programmes are taught in German. A range of English-taught master's programmes is available; prospective students should consult the degree-programme finder or contact the International Office ([email protected]) for the current list of English-track programmes. A Language Center on campus offers German and other language courses.
