Financing your studies

Cost of living during studies

The cost of living during your studies can vary greatly from person to person. Typically, rent accounts for a large portion of these costs.

  • In the greater Munich area, you should expect monthly living expenses of approximately 1,300 to 2,000 euros (for a single-person household).
  • In Straubing and Heilbronn, you should expect monthly living expenses of approximately 900 to 1,200 euros (for a single-person household).

A more detailed overview of average costs is available from the TUM Graduate School.
