This applies equally to both EU and non-EU international students, making it an attractive option for those looking to study in Germany.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What do you actually pay?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Students are required to pay a semester contribution of around \u20ac300 \u2013 \u20ac330 (approximately \u20b927,000 \u2013 \u20b929,700) per semester, or \u20ac600 \u2013 \u20ac660 (\u20b954,000 \u2013 \u20b959,400) annually. This fee includes the Semester Ticket, which provides unlimited travel across Berlin\u2019s public transport network (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, buses) and regional trains in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. In a well-connected city like Berlin, this benefit alone offers significant value.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that while standard bachelor\u2019s and consecutive master\u2019s programmes are tuition-free, some specialised or executive programmes, such as the Master of Business Law, may have tuition fees. Always check the details of your specific programme before applying.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Living Costs in Berlin<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When applying for a student visa to Germany, international students are required to show financial proof through a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of \u20ac11,904 per year (\u20ac992 per month). This amount is designed to cover your basic living expenses during your stay.<\/p>\n<p>In Berlin, living costs can generally be managed within this budget, especially if you secure student accommodation. Dormitory housing typically costs around \u20ac350\u2013\u20ac450 per month, making it one of the most affordable options.
