Fees for a second degree course as per Section 70 Higher Education Act (HochSchG) Rhineland-Palatinate
In Rhineland-Palatinate, the first degree course is free of charge irrespective of the duration of study.
This exemption from fees applies up to the first professional degree/undergraduate studies. For consecutive Bachelor's and Master's degree courses, the same applies up to the second professional degree course.
Thus, for the above-mentioned students, only a semester fee is charged for each semester. At Worms University of Applied Sciences, this is currently 160,70 Euros for the first semester ; 140,70 Euros for
each additional semester.By contrast, a second degree course is subject to a tuition fee. Besides the semester fee, a fee is also charged per semester.
This applies to all students who commence another academic degree after a successful undergraduate qualification. The obligation to pay a fee also applies to international academic degrees.Examples of a second degree course:
- A second degree course in a Bachelor's program after having already acquired a Bachelor’s, German Diplom or a Master's degree
- A second degree course in a Master's program after having already acquired a German Diplom, a German Magister or a Master's degree
- A first degree course in a Master's program after having already acquired a German Diplom or Master's degree
The fee for a second degree depends on the currently valid state regulations on fees in the fields of science, education and research (special fee schedule) for Rhineland-Palatinate and currently amounts to 700 Euros per semester.
Students who are subject to fees shall also receive, together with their letter of admission, a notification of fees for a second degree course with a payment request. This notification has a lasting effect and shall apply until the completion of studies at Worms University of Applied Sciences.
Fees from the age of 60 onwards
The fee for participation in a university course of study (main auditor status) by persons who have reached the age of 60, from the semester following their attainment of the age of 60
is based on the currently valid state ordinance on fees in the areas of science, further education and research (special fee schedule) for Rhineland-Palatinate and
is currently 700,- Euro per semester.Students who have already reached the age of 60 at the time of their application for a study place and are therefore liable to pay fees, will receive a notice of fees with a request for payment together with the notification of admission. This notification has a permanent effect and is valid until the end of the studies at the University of Applied Sciences Worms.
If students reach the age of 60 during their studies, they will receive a notice with permanent effect for the following semester. This is then also valid until the end of the studies.
This fee does not apply if there is already a fee obligation due to a second degree program.
Other Fees
The fee for a second student ID card is currently 20.00 euros. You can apply for this at any time from the colleagues in the Student Services. Simply send us an e-mail at studieren@hs-worms.de.
