Finances
- Tuition fee
- There is no tuition fee for the IMPRS Marburg. The only fee required is the bi-annual semester fee at the Philipps-Universität. It amounts to 222,83 Euro for Ph.D. students. The semester fee includes the so-called Semesterticket, which entitles you to use local trains and buses free of charge.
- Living Costs
- Living costs (including accommodation in a student dormitory and health insurance) in Marburg range from 500 to 600 Euros per month for a single person.
- Housing
- Single rooms are available in student dormitories administered by the Studentenwerk Marburg (monthly rent starting at approximately 150 Euros). The coordination office will, upon request, assist in reserving a room. Off-campus housing (mostly private) is usually more expensive, but offers a wide range of options.
- Health Insurance
- German health insurance is mandatory for all students who are not citizens of the European Union. Special student insurance is available at low rates to all students under 30 years of age. This insurance covers the costs of normal medical treatment (including dental care) in Germany. The monthly payment is currently 56 Euros.
- Fellowships
- Students admitted to the school will be supported by three-year fellowships, which are partly provided by the Research School and partly by the research groups in which the students do their PhD work. The stipend amounts to 1113 Euros /month (first year), 1263 Euros /month (second year), and 1410 Euros (third year).
