Study Financing
How to finance your studies

There are very few financing options for international students, but we have outlined them for you here. We do not recommend starting studying without financial protection.

Information on further financial services for international students, e.g. social benefits or emergency funding can be found here.

We offer support for all students and prospective students in special circumstances in solving economic issues.
