WWU tuition fees
As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at WWU is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. At all public universities in Germany, tuition is free. Students pay only a semester fee, which is about 579 USD per year. With the help of financial support programs, students can partially or fully cover the cost of education. Check the university website for up-to-date information on prices and scholarships.
In addition to the cost of education, it is necessary to pay attention to additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

Bachelor degree at WWU
Schooling in Germany lasts longer than in other countries. Therefore, it is impossible to enter a university immediately after the 11th grade — first, you need to eliminate the academic difference. There are special educational institutions for foreign students — Studienkollegs.
WWU campus
The campus of WWU is located in Munster. The urban campus is suitable for those students who, firstly, are used to independence, and secondly, cannot imagine their life without the hustle and bustle of a big metropolis. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Foreigners who come to WWU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
