What is the minimum income limit?

07. Juli 2021

The minimum income limit is a safeguard for late payers. If your relevant income as a late payer is not above the minimum limit, then you do not have to make any payment in the corresponding calendar year. The minimum limit is adjusted to inflation and is set at a relevant income of around 21,000 euros at the beginning of […]

Which is financially better for me: the fixed direct or the income related payment?

07. Juli 2021

Which decision is financially better in an individual case cannot be assessed by the SG. In the overall view, there is calculative equality between the immediate and the later payment. This means that regardless of whether you pay immediately or later, on average all students and graduates pay the same contribution. If you earn considerably more than the average assumed […]

How does my tuition fee change if I take up a second degree alongside my first degree (e.g. start a BSc in Management alongside a BA in PPE)?

07. Juli 2021

If you take up another degree programme alongside your own, you only pay for the degree programme with the higher immediate payment contribution. However, this option does not exist for consecutive degree programmes in the sense of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. This means that you can study two Bachelor’s degree programmes (or two Master’s degree programmes) in parallel and only […]

Is the use of the ISA subject to any conditions or limited by anything?

07. Juli 2021

No. The ISA is available to all students at the UW/H. If the UW/H offers you a place at university, you can freely choose one of the three payment options (immediate, late or half late payment) before you enrol. Your financial situation or that of your parents is irrelevant. The SG does not carry out a means test.

How are the fixed direct payment contributions calculated?

07. Juli 2021

The calculation of the fixed direct payment contribution is based on the determined late payment contribution. Using the income information of dozens of generations of late payers, we determine what Witten graduates of a degree programme earn on average after completing their studies. Now we look at the cumulative amount an average earning alumna would pay if she paid 12% […]

Can I receive BAföG parallel to the ISA?

07. Juli 2021

Since the ISA is not income, not a scholarship and not a state-recognised grant, you can also receive BAföG without any problems in the later payment or in the half immediate payment. The financial contributions will not be deducted from your BAföG. However, you must be aware that you will have to make repayments for BAföG and ISA at the […]

Are early or faster repayments possible?

06. Juli 2021

Early or faster repayments during the repayment period are possible. You can terminate the repayment before the end of the actual repayment period if you pay – including the repayment contributions paid up to that point – the maximum amount stipulated in the contract. This maximum amount is twice the immediate payment amount of your degree program at the time […]
