Semester contribution

Each semester, every student has to pay a semester contribution. It is composed of social service contribution and student contribution and is collected for the follwing purposes:

• Social Service Contribution
• Student Body Fee
• Registration Fee
• Semester Ticket (required),
• Student ID/Chipcard (paid only once).

The semester contribution is currently appr. 365 €. The exact amounts depends on which group of students you belong to. International exchange students who study at the Viadrina within an exchange program are excempted from the registration fee. Please have a look at the pages of the Department of Student Affairs to see the amount of the semester contribution for your case.

Please note: Because international bank transfers can be costly and slow, we recommend to pay the semester contribution in cash after your arrival in Frankfurt (Oder) at  the Viadrina. It can be paid at the cashier (AM 244).The cashier will provide you with a receipt, which has to be presented at the registration office as proof of payment.
