Study Abroad Costs vs. Exchange Costs: The Study Abroad Costs pertains to the IUSP Marburg Program which is four months in length. Students will pay the UW-Stout tuition and fees in addition to a set fee for room, board, service, etc. The program inclusions may be referenced here. Note the 50€ per month meal subsidy included in the €5,350 program fee. The Exchange Costs pertains to the cost for all other Hessen semester programs.
Exchange THM StudiumPlus: Participants in the StudiumPlus will receive a minimum salary of €600 per placement month (placement is October - December so approximately €1800). The Books/Materials/Supplies includes the cost of the German language program during the month of September which is €570. Students have to pay this partly after registration for the course and partly at the beginning of the course. Once students start the internship, the fee is either reimbursed by the company or the student's monthly salary increased to spread the fee over the employment months.
UW-STOUT TUITION & FEES: On an exchange basis, students will pay UW-Stout tuition and fees based on their resident status. Outbound students do not pay Segregated Fees.
HOUSING: The housing cost for Exchange is based on an average monthly rent of €350 each month for 6 months, however, the actual cost varies between each university. See your host university website for detailed information.
GERMAN HEALTH INSURANCE: Non-EU-citizens must obtain health insurance with a German health insurance company for the duration of your stay in Germany. The monthly charges will be approximately €125.
GERMAN STUDENTENWERK SEMESTER FEE: Exchange students pay a reduced semester fee of approximately €250. This amount varies between each university. The payment is obligatory and a requirement for enrolling. Semester fees are NOT tuition fees; they are financial contributions to multiple facilities that all students may use and benefit from (e.g. library, cafeteria, sport facilities, theatre). Additionally, the semester fee includes a payment for public transportation, therefore, students can ride the buses, trams and most trains for free for the entire semester within the state of Hessen.
