Tuition fees
German: Studiengebühren
In Germany, the general tuition fees were abolished in 2014; however, there are exceptions, e.g., private higher education institutions. Currently, higher education institutions charge a semester fee from students at the beginning of every semester for rematriculation. The semester fee often includes a semester ticket for public transport, as well as contributions to the student union and administrative costs. The all-over amount and composition depend on the individual institution.
