Study Fees

Studying at Zeppelin University costs more than at state universities because we are a private foundation university. So why study privately at ZU and not at a state university without tuition fees?

At Zeppelin University, we are convinced that studying can be better. In order to realize this, we are a privately sponsored foundation university. As a private university, ZU is system-accredited, which corresponds to the highest level of national quality accreditation. In addition, ZU is one of the few private universities in Germany with the right to award doctorates and habilitations. All degree courses offered at Zeppelin University are accordingly recognized by the state. A degree from ZU corresponds in its formal form to a degree from a state university. With small seminar sizes, practical orientation, innovative teaching formats and a committed community, we create a learning environment for pioneers in which you can develop and try out your personality. This gives rise to ideas that are bigger than yourself.

Such a special degree program generates costs that cannot be covered solely by the ZU foundations and friends and supporters of the university. The remaining third of the cost of your studies is covered by tuition fees.
