We are convinced that tuition fees are not a cost, but rather an investment in your future. We are happy to help you find a good way to finance your studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The monthly tuition fees are (from the start of the wintersemester 2025\/26) \u20ac 550 for EU students and \u20ac 750 for non-EU students. In addition, all students pay a one-off enrollment fee of \u20ac 500 after signing the contract and a current amount of \u20ac 67.70 per semester (as of 2024) to the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe<\/a> in order to be able to fulfill social and cultural tasks for the benefit of students. If you complete your studies within the standard period of study, your studies will cost you the total amount of money:<\/p>\n\n\n\n IFY & Bachelor<\/strong>: \u20ac 550 \/ month + \u20ac 67.70 \/ semester + \u20ac 500.

You can download all the necessary forms at www.baf\u00f6g.de<\/a>. You can also find the digital application<\/a> here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe is responsible for you: Study first, pay later – this is possible with a so-called reverse intergenerational contract. We work together with two experienced and renowned cooperation partners in the field of student financing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together with the Kreditanstalt f\u00fcr Wiederaufbau (KfW) and the Federal Office of Administration, the BMBF grants the education loan<\/a>. Another option for financing studies is the student loan<\/a> granted by the Kreditanstalt f\u00fcr Wiederaufbau (KfW). Both loans are granted independently of BAf\u00f6G and income – primarily to Germans, Europeans and some other persons (depending on nationality). Always check the conditions of a loan, as other financing options may be more favorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to financing your studies through public grants or loans, there are some public and private scholarships available. These include scholarships available through the federally funded \u201cBegabtenf\u00f6rderungswerke.\u201d However, many of these foundations have the same citizenship and residence requirements specified by BAf\u00f6G, and are therefore restricted to Germany and EU\/EEA students. Some of them have special programs for international students, though! UWC scholarship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Every year, Karlshochschule awards the UWC scholarship to an outstanding graduate of a United World College, which covers 100 % of the tuition fees during the standard period of study. UWC graduates who wish to begin their studies in fall 2025\/2026 are invited to apply. We are looking for people who share our common values and want to make a positive contribution to society as passionate changemakers. The scholarship is aimed at globally minded individuals with commitment, creativity and determination. Find out more about the requirements and the selection process by contacting our admissions team at admissions@karlshochschule.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Private and public organizations in your home country may also provide scholarships to study internationally. We recommend that you research this in your home country as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students in the International Relations and Politics, Philosophy & Economics programs who are generally eligible for funding from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs may be able to finance their studies through the GI Bill. Please contact the Admissions Service for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, there are many possibilities to get a student job in Karlsruhe. It may be difficult, though, as long as don\u2019t speak Useful information and hints on studying in Germany and financing possibilities also offers the website Study-in-Germany<\/a> by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
German education enables people with German Abitur to study: in addition to Baf\u00f6G, as an alternative to loans and regardless of social background. Monthly payments and \/ or one-off payments allow you to concentrate fully on your studies. The accompanying Academy provides training and coaching for successful studies, career entry and the first years of professional life. According to the principle of a reverse generation contract, the later repayment depends on income and flows back into the financing of future students.

With the Karlshochschule Education Fund via Brain Capital, you have another option to finance your studies in full or in part and start repaying after graduation. The financing principle is also based on the model of the reverse intergenerational contract and is therefore comparable to that of German education.

Also the Karlshochschule itself offers a limited number of jobs (library, marketing, service desk, assistants for professors). The Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe (student union) has a job board for student<\/a> jobs that can be very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
