Tuition and Living Costs

Tuition

Tuition for the entire two-year MPP programme at the Hertie School is currently €27,000 (€ 6,750 per semester).

Please note that students who participate in the professional year programme or take a leave of absence for other reasons will have to pay the tuition valid for the year they return to the Hertie School. The current tuition is valid for students who will join the MPP in fall 2012 and graduate in spring 2014.

Down Payment

A tuition down-payment in the amount of €1,000  is required in the first year in order to secure a place in the incoming class. This payment is part of the first-year tuition of €13,500. For those who apply by our first deadline of 31 January, the tuition down-payment is due 1 May. For those who are admitted on a rolling basis (after 31 March), the tuition down-payment is due on the 1st day of the month after the admission decision is received via email. It is essential to make your down-payment by the due date or you risk losing your place. In case of questions regarding payment, please email StudentServices(at)hertie-school.org
