If you need help with financing your tuition fees, ask your bank about student loans. These are designed to finance your tuition fees during your
studies at favourable interest rates and independently of your parents' income. So get in touch with a bank of your choice and ask for advice.
Depending on your personal starting situation and subject, other possible costs include the purchase of hardware and software for a computer workstation at home or a mobile laptop, if this is not already available. In the design departments, material costs for drawing utensils may be incurred. In the film department, costs may be incurred for shooting the examination film as part of the intermediate and final examinations if this cannot be financed through sponsorship or funding.
