Hochschule RheinMain, RheinMain University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden, Rüsselsheim

No tuition fees are charged for bachelor's and consecutive master's programmes at this public Hessen state university. All enrolled students pay a semester contribution each term, which covers student body representation, Studierendenwerk (student union) services, administrative costs, liability insurance, legal advice, a cultural ticket, nextbike bike-sharing, and the Deutschlandticket (nationwide public transport pass for students). The exact semester contribution amount was not published on the English pages at the time of data collection — contact the university or check bewerbung.hs-rm.de for the current figure. Hessen does not charge a separate non-EU surcharge (unlike Baden-Württemberg or Bavaria).

International applicants must hold a university entrance qualification recognised in Germany (check anabin.kmk.org or use the uni-assist eligibility check). Most applicants apply via uni-assist (www.uni-assist.de). For German-taught programmes, a minimum German level of B2 is required at application stage; C1 (e.g. DSH-2, TestDaF TDN 4, telc C1 Hochschule, or Goethe C2) is required for enrolment. Accepted B2 certificates include DSH-1, TestDaF level 3+, Goethe Intermediate B2, and B2 completion certificates from a recognised language school. For English-taught programmes, requirements vary by programme — check individual programme pages. Indian applicants requiring an APS certificate (Akademische Prüfstelle) must obtain it before applying; HSRM does not explicitly mention APS on its website but the APS requirement is a German federal/consulate condition independent of the university. A preparatory programme (Succeed@HSRM) is available for students who need to improve language skills or subject knowledge before entering a degree programme.

Applications for 2026/27 via uni-assist (international applicants with foreign credentials): Bachelor's programmes with restricted admission (NC): 15 July; Bachelor's programmes without restricted admission: 1 September; Master's programmes: 15 July or 1 September depending on programme (Interior Architecture: 15 June). The Studienkolleg application window for 2026/27 was closed at the time of data collection. Deadlines may vary by academic year — always verify at www.uni-assist.de and the HSRM application portal (bewerbung.hs-rm.de).

The majority of programmes are taught in German. The university's Programme Finder allows filtering by language of instruction; a number of master's programmes are available in English. For German-taught programmes, applicants need at least B2 for application and C1 for enrolment. English-taught programme requirements vary by programme.
