How German tuition and deadlines differ
"Public university" does not automatically mean the same fee for every applicant. TUM lists programme-level tuition for many students from non-EU countries, while Saarland lists no tuition and RWTH’s public programme uses a semester contribution rather than the high annual fees common in the UK.
German deadlines can also split by EU status and intake. RWTH publishes a hard 1 March winter deadline for non-EU / non-EEA applicants to Data Science, while TUM Informatics publishes a winter window from 1 February to 31 May.
Choose by academic fit, not only by title
- Conversion: designed for graduates without a computing degree.
- Advanced computer science: expects substantial prior computing and programming.
- Data science: may require a detailed match across mathematics, statistics and computing modules.
- English proof: exact tests, scores and exemptions belong to the university, not a country-wide rule.
