Administrative Matters
Salary
The net salary for accepted PhD students (appr 970 - 1050 EUR) will cover all living expenses in the Munich area.
Tuition
There are no tuition fees. The only fee required is a registration fee
at the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich or the Technical University
Munich that amounts to around 100 EUR per year.
Housing
Rent for an apartment or a flat for a single person is approx. 300-400
EUR per month. QCCC will try and provide assistance in finding suitable
lodging.
Health Insurance
Every student needs German health insurance (obligatory!). Special
insurance contracts for students below 30 years of age will cost around
50 EUR per month.
Resident Permits / Visa
To stay in Germany every foreign student needs a residence permit (for
details see German Academic Exchange Service or Guide for Marie Curie
Research Fellows). This is not a requirement for candidates of member
states of the European Union. QCCC will provide administrative support
in visa formalities to students from non-EU countries:
- Technical University Munich, Office of International Affairs
- Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Office of International Affairs
These offices of International Affairs provide some general information and advice to foreign students about studying and life in Munich. Moreover, the offices organize a number of social activities for international students.
