| To elaborate on "minor fees": For the current semester (6 months), a student at a public university in Cologne pays around €250 [0][1]. For the FH Köln, the exact amount is €246.20. This comprises the following: * Administrative fee for "Kölner Studentenwerk", providing services such as cheap apartments or help with financial questions: €68.00 * Public transport ticket for the VRS region (around Cologne): €116.80 * Addon ticket for public transport in the whole state (NRW): €48.10 * Fee for the student council ("AStA"): €13.10 * Solidarity contribution (for Eastern Germany): €0.20 There may be additional fees for some courses, such as 100€ for "study material" for distant learning courses. Public universities may also offer some courses that require you to pay, as the FH Köln does for their Master's program for Game Development. However, the vast majority of courses don't require such fees. Of course, there are also private universities. Their fees are roughly €400-€700/month.
