BAföG: tuition fees & BAföG

to the conventional ones expenditure Many universities in Germany now charge tuition fees of various types and amounts for cost of living and food. For example for long-term students - or for everyone!

Usually, long-term students are asked to pay after exceeding the standard period of study - usually by four to six semesters. Somewhat fairer is the study account model: Students are credited with a certain quota of freeCourses.

If you overdraw this account, i.e. take moreCourses, you have to pay, regardless of the number of semesters. This System is beneficial to those who ye Study financed by working and can therefore only study part-time. In addition, there are various forms of administration fees and the staggering of semester fees depending on the length of study, such as in Berlin.

In general, general study fees

In the meantime, however, general tuition fees from the first semester are also being discussed everywhere, which have so far been prohibited by the Higher Education Framework Act ways was standing. Most countries that want to introduce general tuition fees from the first degree onwards assume 500 euros per semester. However, unlike the previously waived fees, the funds should be made available directly to the departments.

It is to be hoped that the introduction of fees will take account of the situation of low-income families. Thus, loan models are discussed, according to which the fees are paid back only after the beginning of the work.

Prohibition of University fees canceled - The judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court and its reasoning

On 26.01.2005, the Federal Constitutional Court has declared the prohibition of study fees in Germany, which was fixed by the Higher Education Act, to be unconstitutional. The unions-governed countries of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hamburg, Saarland, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt had filed a complaint against the Higher Education Act.

The federal states can now independently introduce tuition fees decide. The 2002 federal government enacted ban on fees violates the legislative rights of the federal states and was declared null and void by the court.

Rights of the Confederation

According to this ruling, the federal government cannot base its general prohibition on fees on the framework legislative competence for higher education that it is basically entitled to, since uniform regulations nationwide are neither necessary for “creating easy living conditions” nor for “preserving the economic entity”.

However, the Confederation is to be able to intervene if the inhabitants of the federal states, where a university degree program costs fees, are significantly disadvantaged or if a large proportion of the students migrate to other federal states. In principle, however, it was not a matter of whether study fees are politically reasonable, so the Karlsruhe judges do not want their judgment to be understood as a freeze letter for study fees.
