Jena charges no tuition fee to EU or non-EU students, except for students who have already studied in Germany for an unusually long time. All students pay a semester contribution covering the semester ticket and student services; the university's own financing page does not state one combined current figure, though other pages place monthly living costs at approximately EUR 750 to 900.
