Everybody can afford studies at Witten/Herdecke University. Our students pay tuition fees as soon as they have the necessary funds. Our focus is on an applicant’s personality not on his or her financial situation. Students pay what they can afford.

Every beginner decides whether to pay tuition fees right from the start or after graduation. You may also opt for a combination: direct payment 50 % and income-related repayment after graduation 50 %. If you decide on payment after graduation, you will only start paying after you have taken up a job and earn a regular income. Over a period of ten years you will pay a previously defined percentage of your annual income. Graduates who earn less than a defined minimum income are exempt from repayment of tuition fees.
