Please keep in mind that not all courses offered in a subject are offered every semester. Most classes will be taught in person. However, some classes may be taught online.

Students participating in the ERASMUS+ Programme are exempted from tuition fees. However, a semester service fee of currently 201,90 EUR will have to be paid upon arrival. Please keep in mind that the semester service fee may be higher. It is an administration fee for the Student Services Organisation (Studentenwerk), the Students’ Union Executive Committee (AStA) and includes free pass for local trains in Lower Saxony (Semesterticket) and perk use of the refectory/dining hall.

Students will receive a monthly grant of 850 EUR as well as a one-off travel allowance of 275 EUR. Half a monthly grant and the travel allowance will be paid in cash upon arrival in Vechta when signing the Grant Agreement. The remaining grant is paid monthly. The last monthly installment will be paid during the final month of your stay after completion of all ERASMUS+ formalities.
