The University of Rostock does not charge tuition fees for most undergraduate and graduate programs, as it is a public university in Germany. However, students are required to pay a semester fee, which covers administrative costs, student services, and a public transportation ticket. As of 2023, this fee is approximately €250–€300 per semester.
An initial deposit is not typically required for enrollment, but students must pay the semester fee before registering each semester. International students should also budget for living expenses, health insurance, and visa-related costs, if applicable.
