Tuition Fees

Continuing education study programmes require a first professional qualification from a university of higher education and lead to a further professional qualification in accordance with the Examination Regulations and Study Regulations. Study Regulations for these study programmes also require a period of professional experience of at least one year. These study programmes are subject to a charge and in addition to the semester fee, tuition fees must be paid. The amount of the tuition fee can be found on the study programme profiles and on the page on the semester fee:

Students who are enrolled at WHZ and have exceeded the regular period of study in their study programme as defined in the Examination Regulations by more than 4 semesters must pay a fee of EUR 500 for each additional semester in accordance with § 13 Abs. 2 SächsHSG. This fee is charged at re-registration. Affected students will be informed about the fee by WHZ.

For a study programme that is not a study programme as defined in § 13 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 and 2 SächsHSG, the university may charge second-degree fees if the student already has a university degree and the study programme is not a consecutive master’s degree programme.

The Campus portal – student services will inform you during your application whether second-degree fees will apply to your study programme. The second-degree fee is 300 EUR per semester in addition to the semester fee.

In addition to possible tuition fees, the WHZ charges a semester fee for the Chemnitz-Zwickau Student Union and the WHZ Student Council per student. You can find information about the semester fee here:
