In our student halls of residence, students can live comfortably and at reasonable prices. Our Department of Grants (Amt für Ausbildungsförderung) is managing the funding of your studies in accordance with the Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (BAföG; German Federal Education and Training Assistance Act, a German law concerning educational funding).

This fee serves to fund the various support and counselling services, a big part of the Semesterbeitrag is used for supporting the provision of our Mensa offer. The amount and use of the Semesterbeitrag are determined in our Beitragsordnung (Regulations concerning the fee for social benefits).
