Study funding

Students from countries of the European Union in their first degree studies do not pay tuition fees at the HMT Leipzig.

According to the 20th Social Survey of the Student union "The economic and social situation of students in Germany 2012" the costs of a study without tuition fees amount to an average sum of 794 € per month. On average, the largest share of 298 € arises to rent, followed by food costs (165 €) and public transport / car etc. (82 €).
