Admissions & fees

What it costs

FAU is a private university and charges tuition fees of approximately €2,100-€2,340 per semester depending on the programme, plus a one-time registration fee of approximately €380. These fees apply to all students regardless of nationality (there is no separate public-university semester contribution model here). The M.A. Development Studies e-learning programme costs €2,403 per semester. FAU does not receive state subsidies, so the tuition-free model of German public universities does not apply. The Baden-Württemberg non-EU surcharge (€1,500/semester) is not applicable as FAU is in Saxony-Anhalt and is a private institution.

Admission requirements

Applicants must meet programme-specific admission requirements; no numerus clausus (NC/Abitur grade cap) applies to bachelor's programmes. Specific language requirements depend on the programme language track - German-taught programmes require German proficiency; English-taught programmes require English proficiency. International applicants from India, China, and Vietnam whose prior qualification was obtained in those countries should check the APS certificate requirement with the admissions office, as FAU is a state-accredited institution subject to standard German higher education admission rules. Application deadlines vary by programme; prospective students are advised to contact the Admissions and International Office (Irina Heinz) for programme-specific timelines. A non-EU applicant must also provide proof of funding: either a €6,000 down payment accompanied by a letter of commitment, or a €500 down payment supported by a blocked account (Sperrkonto).

Application deadlines

Application deadlines vary by degree programme - check each programme early; complete application package must be sent within the registration period.

How international applicants apply

No uni-assist documented. Binding applications run through the online application on CampusNet; every application is reviewed by two bodies - the academic admission commission and the finance commission (financing must be clarified). After acceptance, students transfer deposit and caution within 2-3 weeks and send proof to the admissions office before receiving the enrolment documents and travel information.
