Germany didn't generally use to charge tuition fees. But this has meanwhile changed. Some federal states are already charging fees or are just about to introduce them. Please contact the university of your choice to find out whether and from when it plans to charge tuition fees. You can also find further information on the website of the Association of German Student Services Organisations (Deutsches Studentenwerk).

Constantly updated lists on how the introduction of tuition fees is progressing can also be found on the following websites:
