Universität Stuttgart is a Baden-Württemberg state university. Non-EU/EEA students pay tuition of €1,500/semester IN ADDITION to the semester contribution of €184/semester (total: €1,684/semester for non-EU students). EU/EEA students and Bildungsinländer (holders of a German university-entrance qualification) pay only the €184 contribution. Second degree: €650/semester.

Tuition is waived on an approved leave semester; the contribution is not. No application fee.

What students say
The only Stuttgart programme in our set to clear the review threshold — 26 reviews with a 96% recommendation rate (the individual star value was not captured, so no rating is shown). Reviewers describe a strong aerospace programme at a university with a genuinely good reputation in the field, and single out the master's freedom to choose almost all modules, which makes it markedly more engaging than the bachelor. Teaching staff are described warmly. The consistent criticism is administrative rather than academic — organising exams, and registering and withdrawing from them, is felt to need work, matching the university-wide pattern. Note the language: this is a German-taught programme, so these positive reviews should not be read as applying to Stuttgart's English-taught master's.
Liked
- Strong reputation in aerospace, warmly described teaching staff
- Freedom to select nearly all master's modules yourself
- More engaging and self-directed than the bachelor
Criticised
- Exam organisation and registration/withdrawal need improvement
- Assumes the heavily mathematical bachelor grounding
- German-taught — not an English-taught route despite the positive reviews
