LMU has charged no tuition fee since the 2013/14 winter semester, for EU and non-EU students alike. Students instead pay a semester contribution to the Munich Studierendenwerk, with the exact rate set by the Studierendenwerk's own statutes and adjusted from time to time; a public transport semester ticket that used to be bundled into this fee was discontinued from the 2023/24 winter semester.
