The study at the FH Wedel is subject to fees. The amount of the fees can be found on the study program pages.

Students who have completed a six-semester Bachelor's program with 180 ECTS credits require an additional semester with 30 ECTS credits and must therefore study one semester longer than the standard period of study. You may have to take this additional semester into account in your cost calculation.

The culture and the educational system in Germany are especially at the beginning of the studies something to get used to. As a student at the FH Wedel you have to act very independently and the demands on you are very high. This affects the speed at which you can manage your studies at the FH Wedel. You should also take this into account in your cost calculation.

The University of Applied Sciences Wedel does not award scholarships. However, you can apply for scholarships at the DAAD or institutions in your home country. Wedel UAS is a fully accredited university and is therefore equivalent to a public university.

If you would like to take out a student loan from a bank, please consider your personal financial risk. The FH Wedel does not take any measures to prevent or promote the taking out of a loan. We recommend that you secure financing for at least five semesters.

If you tell us a later semester you want to have your intake, before you send us the tution fee, we will issue the confirmation letter for the semester of your choice without further charge.

You can obtain a student visa at a German embassy or consulate. Note that the process usually takes several months. Therefore, you need to start your application process very early - usually half a year before the start of your studies.

If you confirm our offer quickly by paying the tuition fee, you will usually receive our confirmation letter faster than an appointment at the embassy or consulate. Therefore, you may already try to get an appointment there after you got our offer of the place. If your visa is denied finally, we will refund your tuition fee. To do this, you must provide proof that your visa has been denied. If your visa is late, this is not a reason for a refund. It is your responsibility to complete all steps of the application process on time. However, you may consider our note below for a delayed arrival.

If you need to postpone the start of your studies by one semester, please inform us via e-mail. In this case, you will have to pay another processing fee and will then receive a new confirmation of your study place from us for the later start date. Please transfer the processing fee to the following account:

Note that your banking institution may charge additional costs for the transfer. A postponement is only possible once!
