Accommodation and Broadcast licence fee

In Augsburg, you can find different accommodation opportunities, such as boarding houses, students' flat-sharing communities (Studenten-WG), or, of course, a room in a student dormitory.

If you participate in the Research internship program and are interested in student dormitories, you need to conclude a sublet with the main tenant. If you need assistance in finding accommodation as a short-term intern, please contact the program coordinator.

To support your studying or your research internship and get proof of available rooms for sublets, the International Office keeps in touch with the Studentenwerk Augsburg, the main point of contact for student dormitories in Augsburg, as well as with other coordinative contact points.

Be aware that Augsburg Technical University does not own any halls of residence. However, if you need help finding a room, the International Office will gladly assist you.

Further information about accommodation for exchange students is available on the official website.

The licence fee is a mandatory fee to be paid when having a residence in Germany. It amounts to EUR 18,36 per month.

The licence fee works like a tax which everybody has to pay regardless whether you live in a student hall of residence, a private apartment or even a house. This fee is levied for each residence – regardless of how many people live there. The amount is collected by „ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice“. The regulation does not differentiate between the number of technical devices the household possesses or whether these devices are used to receive the public-law programs.
