Studying at Zeppelin University costs more than at state universities. This is because we are a privately funded university, meaning we are completely independent. We want all new entrants to be able to study with us regardless of their financial background. That's why we provide the following student finance options:

Educational Fund: Downstream student finance
Example Educational Fund
The ZU Educational Fund is an innovative model of student finance, where you pay no tuition fees during your studies. Well-known financiers will cover the costs for you. After you graduate, you repay the tuition fees based on your income. This is done by paying a total of ten percent of your gross income for a duration of ten years. In the event that you earn a gross income of less than €25,000, you do not have to make any repayments.
For example: If your tuition fees come to €30,000 in total, your monthly tuition fees of €650 will be paid. After you start working (and only once your gross income is more than €30,000 a year), your tuition fees are due for repayment. In this case you will pay ten percent of this gross figure, which comes to €250 per month
KfW student loan
The KfW student loan will provide finance of between €100 (minimum) and €650 (maximum) per month during your studies at Zeppelin University – without the need to provide collateral, and independently of your income/assets.
It is possible to combine the KfW student loan with other student support programs such as the government education loan or the BAföG student grant.
