Pädagogische Hochschule Weingarten

As a public university in Baden-Württemberg, PH Weingarten charges no programme tuition for EU/EEA students. Under Baden-Württemberg's non-EU tuition policy, non-EU international students are subject to a fee of €1,500 per semester (introduced from winter semester 2017/18). All students additionally pay a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) covering student services and public transport; the exact current amount was not published on the pages reviewed — contact the Studierenden Service Zentrum at +49 751 501-8220 for the current figure. Estimated monthly living costs in Weingarten are approximately €750–€800 according to the university's own guidance for incoming students.

Degree-seeking international applicants must hold a recognised university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung) equivalent to the German Abitur. Applications are submitted through the university's eCampus portal. Exchange students (incoming) require nomination by a partner institution and must apply through the Mobility Online portal with a CV, motivation letter (in German or English), transcript, proof of enrolment at the home university, and a language certificate (German or English). Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants who previously studied in those countries and are applying for a degree programme typically require an APS certificate before the German student visa can be issued. German language proficiency is the standard expectation for most programmes; the International Office offers an introductory German language and culture course for incoming exchange students.

The primary language of instruction is German. One dedicated English-medium exchange programme is available: the 'Global Classroom in Teacher Education', a semester-long programme covering international and intercultural education, intercultural teaching practice, subject-specific didactics, and an introduction to German language and culture. Incoming exchange students may also submit their motivation letter in English. No degree programmes taught fully in English are listed for degree-seeking students outside the Global Classroom exchange track.
