  • This payment is part of the first semester tuition.
  • All admitted students will receive further details with their acceptance package.

Doctoral programmes

  • The Hertie School of Governance does not charge tuition for its Doctoral Programme in Governance or the Berlin School of Transnational Studies, but requires that all admitted candidates secure the financial means to support the three-year doctoral programme in Berlin.
  • Applicants can be admitted without a stipend offer, but they need to prove that they have the financial means to support their studies when they start the doctoral programme. These means can come from sources such as third party stipends, paid positions in research or other part-time positions.
  • Please note that candidates who work full-time cannot be admitted to the programme.
  • We therefore ask each candidate to explain their personal circumstances and how they intend to support themselves during the three-year doctoral programme as part of the online application procedure.
  • Because of the limited number of stipends that the Hertie School can offer, we strongly recommend that you prepare an application for a third party stipend when you apply to the Doctoral Programme in Governance.
  • Please note that stipend applications usually need to be submitted 6 months prior to the beginning of the doctoral programme. An offer of admission is often required by the funder.

Campus fee

All matriculated students must pay the current campus fee of 293.80 euros* per semester. Part-time students in the Executive MPA pay 100 euros as they are not eligible for a public transport ticket. PhD students pay a reduced campus fee of 278.80 euros.

  • The cost for the Berlin public transport ticket of currently 193.80 euros (spring semester 2017). The price for the ticket will slightly increase in future semesters.

Administrative fees

  • Leave of absence: After their first year of study, students can interrupt the MPP or MIA programme for up to one year if the study goals are not put at risk.
