Costs

Insurance
All students must have health and long-term care insurance: If you have not turned 25, you can remain insured with your parents’ family insurance.
If you have a part-time job or earn money e.g. in an internship, you should take note of the income restrictions, as this could otherwise mean that you can no longer be included with your parents’ family insurance.
If you are not insured through your parents, then until you turn 30 or until the completion of the 14th subject-related semester you can get a reduced rate for the statutory student health and long-term care insurance.
Monthly expenses
In addition to the semester fees, there are also costs of living. According to the German National Association for Student Affairs (DSW), costs of living during studies are around €934 per month (DSW, October 2022). These costs include rent (the largest sum), food, clothing, study materials, transportation, and insurance as well as fees for phones, internet, and radio license fees. They also include leisure time activities. Of course, the actual amount will always depend on individual needs and the university location.
