An overview of expenses:

  • The Bavarian State Ministry supports academic education and therefore charges no tuition fees for all full-time EU/EEA students
  • We only charge a small student services fee of 72€ per semester for full-time EU/EEA students
  • International students please note our fee regulations and the exceptions they contain
  • In addition, all residents are required to pay a TV and radio licence fee

BayBIDS is supported by Bavaria University (registered society) and the Bavarian Ministry of Science, Research and Art. The project originated in 2008, with the initiative coming from the German Academic Exchange Service and the partner-school initiative of the Foreign Office. The project was set up to promote cooperation between German schools abroad and German partner-schools with Bavarian universities.

BayBIDS regularly awards scholarships to graduates of German schools abroad, who begin their studies in Bavaria. Visits to partner schools abroad are also financed. See the website for all details.

 

 

This financial support programme is for German or international students who are fully-integrated and have their long-term perspectives in Germany (e.g. European citizens or students with long term residential visas).
