Tuition Fees

In general, the tuition fee is ~380€ per semester for EU nationals from their 9th semester of doctoral studies onwards. Non-EU citizens pay ~750€ per semester from their first semester onwards.  In addition to these amounts, you will also need to pay the students‘ union fee incl. insurance (~20€ per semester).

Waiving of tuition fees for a semester (generally for EU citizens, in exceptional cases for non-EU citizens as well) is granted for several reasons (source). For example:

• Commitment and work for councils of the student union. (get involved and come to our next Jour Fixe),
• Employment of regular students at TU Wien for at least 20 hours per week, given the employment relationship exists for the entire semester,
• Serious illness for more than two months or pregnancy.
• Some groups of people, such as refugees, are granted this regulation.
• Citizen of some countries like, for example, Afghanistan, Yemen or Somalia, have a special agreement to be exempted of tuition fee.

In these cases you have to apply for waiving of tuition fees in the Department for Studies.
