Every student has to pay semester fees in the amount of 190.30 Euro each semester they are enrolled at the University of Mannheim. This consists of 70 Euro administration costs plus 110.30 Euro for the Studierendenwerk plus a 10 Euro fee for the Student Body Representative Committee.
 
Tuition fees for a second degree:
Students from the EU, EEA member states, or German students who have already obtained a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Germany must pay a tuition fee of 650 Euro for their second degree of the same level.
 
Regarding tuition fees for international students:
Starting from fall semester 2017 the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg has implemented tuition fees. The tuition fee amounts to EUR 1,500 per semester. Students who are already enrolled at one of the universities in Baden-Württemberg will not have to pay the tuition fee and will be able to graduate in their aspired degree program at their current university under the current conditions (retention of acquired rights).
 
This change will not apply to students who are EU citizens or citizens of a member state of the European Economic Area (EEA) as well as to refugees. Moreover, this change will affect neither foreign students who hold a German university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur) nor students with established living conditions in Germany.
 
Regarding the tuition fees you should get in contact with the International Office of our University.
