Expenses

One-Time Costs

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar does not charge tution fees. This includes exchange students.

However, the payment of the the semester contribution is obligatory for every student (around €300 - you can find out precisely here).

The contribution is used for issuing your student ID called “Thuringian University and Studierendenwerk Card”, or “Thoska” for short, which gives you access to the following services:

  • Student ID (e.g. for discounts at the zoo in Erfurt or swimming pools)
  • Library card
  • Ticket for the German National Theater (DNT)
  • Payment card for dining halls, cafeterias and courses with registration fees (e.g. sport courses)
  • Train, bus and regional railway ticket within Thuringia (including public transport and regional trains)
  • when activated: Key card to select-ed buildings and rooms

For questions, please reach out to the Office of Student and Academic Affairs at
study@uni-weimar.de

Broadcasting Licence Fee

In Germany, every person must pay the so-called "Rundfunkbeitrag" (Broadcasting Licence Fee). This is a fee of 18,36 euros per month that must be paid per household, regardless of whether you use the services of the public media institutions (TV, radio, etc.).

If you live together with several people in one household, you can share the fee. For example, 4 people living in one household each pay 4,59 Euros per month.

Please check if the broadcasting fee is already part of your rent by contacting the landlord/landlady regarding this.

Please note
Regardless of whether the fee is already included in your rent, it is imperative that you register with the "Beitragsservice" after moving in as an individual and deregister before you return home!

If you have further questions or need more information, please visit the Broadcasting Licence Fee website. Here you will also find all the necessary documents for registration, deregistration and  their FAQs.
