Göttingen charges no general tuition fee to non-EU or EU students; Lower Saxony abolished tuition for all students from the winter semester of 2014/15. A small number of specialised joint or continuing-education master's programmes charge their own separate fees unrelated to this general policy. All students pay a semester contribution to the regional student services organisation, set at EUR 127 from winter semester 2024/25 and rising to EUR 157 from summer semester 2026; this figure covers student services specifically, and the full combined semester contribution including any semester ticket may be higher, but a single current total was not confirmed on the pages checked.
