Currently, Leipzig University does not charge tuition fees for a student’s first degree. However, in certain cases, students may be required to pay fees for a second degree or for exceeding the standard period of study by too long. Certain fees are also charged for some special courses and the DSH course. All applicants, including international and doctoral students, need to pay the semester fee before the start of each semester. In addition to this semester fee, the university levies tuition fees for long-term students and second undergraduate degrees.

Leipzig University expects a GPA of 3 on a scale of 4 from international students. Along with the GPA, the university wants a student with excellent academic scores; standardized scores; English language proficiency, and work experience. In addition, students must participate in extracurricular activities to add a positive impact on their resume. With an acceptance rate of 10%, the university is quite competitive but students with good performance can still make a place in any program.
