05 / Make the numbers work
A good plan includes the everyday.
Use the official planning range of EUR 900–1,200 per month as a starting point for living costs, then replace it with your city’s quotations. Tuition is separate. Add a housing deposit, permit and insurance costs, winter clothing and an arrival reserve.
Funding & scholarships
Ask the university about its own tuition scholarships and their renewal rules. A tuition reduction does not fund rent or everyday expenses. Compare the amount payable for every year, including any conditions attached to a first-year award.
