Enrollment/ tuition fees/ cost of living/ scholarships/ application

Enrollment

Students are enrolled in Konstanz for both years and pay the administrative fees for both years; they enroll at Nottingham for one year.

Tuition Fees

Students pay only 2/3 of the regular tuition fees at Nottingham. Please check the current Nottingham Tuition Fee website for current information. You can then calculate the amount; it is payable in three instalments, the first one of which has to be paid in the week of your arrival in Nottingham.  You will receive detailed information upon arrival.

If you apply for Auslandsbafög -- see details here -- a chunk of the tuition fees are taken care of. Auslandsbafög pays as much as 4,600€ in tuition fees.

Cost of Living

You can find detailed information on the Nottingham site.

Scholarships

Accepted students can apply for the Nottingham European Union Masters Scholarship (if eligible) German students should both apply for Auslandsbafög (even if you don't receive Inlandsbafög) and check in the DAAD Scholarship Database for any individual scholarships they can apply for.

Application Process

Students will apply to the Masters of Economics in Konstanz programme with the standard application deadline and indicate their interest in the Double Degree Option. After having been admitted to the Master of Economics, a committee consisting of faculty members of both Konstanz and Nottingham will make an admissions’ decision for the Double Degree Option, based on grades. You will be informed about a possible offer of admissions to Konstanz and Nottingham  at the same time.

Upon admissions to the programme, a second short application is made to Nottingham. Apart from some of the same documents students have handed in to Konstanz already, some need to provide proof of language proficiency if they did not obtain their BSc from Konstanz (then they are exempt from submitting proof):

A. Either an IELTS score of 6.5 (with no less than 6.0 in any element) or a TOEFL (IBT) minimum of 87 with no less than 21 in listening and writing, 22 in reading and 23 in speaking. B. Or a grade of 12 in the Abitur in the subject English.

Proof of this has to be submitted to Nottingham no later than two weeks before the term starts in Nottingham (usually 2nd or 3rd week of September).

Recognition of courses

After having studied at the partner university and when you have received your official transcript, please submit this Request for Recognition and the transcript via email to the exams office. Within 2-3 weeks the individual classes will be recognised.
