National student fee
Higher education institutions define their own fees. Fees usually comprise fees for administration (admission, registration, certification) and tuition. Additional mandatory contributions for examinations, libraries, sports facilities, social and cultural institutions are possible.
Some categories of students pay reduced fees (students on leave of absence, medical students during their placement year, doctoral students).
Students in difficult economic circumstances or part-time students can apply for a waiver or reduction of tuition fees at most higher education institutions.
Some higher education institutions charge higher fees for both students from within and outside the EU.
