The semester fee is not a tuition fee in the sense you would expect. It is a fee paid by all students at the University to receive a wide range of services. It comprises a basic fee for the student services organization Studierendenwerk, so that you can use services and university facilities. In addition, it also consists of the semester ticket for public transport, including the ticket fare VMT-Ticket, the semester ticket for rail travel (regional trains in Thuringia), and a small contribution to student representation bodies, so that they can represent your interests.
