The fees for studying depend on the point of study, educational background and nationality.

Federal education funding

Students from Germany cannot receive BAföG for studying because German law assumes that studying at an Open University is not equivalent to studying at a German university. The ruling originally concerned The Open University (OU) in Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom and has so far also applied to comparable Open Universities.
