Baden-Württemberg state university: non-EU/EEA students pay €1,500/semester tuition IN ADDITION to the €201.50/semester semester contribution (total €1,701.50/semester for non-EU students; contribution = €80 administrative + €109.50 Studierendenwerk + €12 student body). EU/EEA and exchange students pay only the semester contribution; a second degree costs €650/semester.

What students say

Via StudyCheck · 2024-2026: an aggregated rating, not our own assessment, paraphrased in our own words and never quoted.

4.3 /5

Reviewers (11 as of July 2026, 91% recommendation) describe a well-balanced mix of engineering, computer science and hands-on application: classical electrical and mechanical engineering alongside a strong emphasis on software development, control engineering and embedded systems. Team projects in robotics, automation and signal processing are credited with building both technical and collaborative skills. Courses are demanding but well structured, and the digital infrastructure — WiFi, online materials, IT support — is reported as reliable.
