Overview

Unlike most of RWTH's German-taught bachelor's degrees, several master's programmes are taught fully in English — and, like the bachelor's level, North Rhine-Westphalia still charges no tuition to non-EU students at time of verification.

Standard length for a European Master's degree (120 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme.
Accreditation

DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.

Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.
Enrollment & international mix

ETER ingestion for this institution is not built yet.

Student residence permits issued in Germany

Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for Germany is not built yet.

No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.
International (non-EU) tuition
€0/year
for No tuition fee for non-EU international students at master's level either — confirmed still in effect for the current cycle. Only the mandatory semester contribution (~€375, WS 2026/27) applies.

One category we could not fully verify: non-consecutive/executive master's programmes may charge separate tuition according to secondary sources, but we found no official RWTH page stating an exact figure for that exception — this entry covers regular/consecutive master's programmes only.
Estimated cost of living in Aachen
€850/month
Estimated, not verified
Estimate for a frugal international student: shared room, home cooking, public transport, basic phone/internet.
This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →

Legal work rights

Proof of funds
Not yet researched

Non-EU students may take up paid work for up to 120 full days or 240 half-days per calendar year without separate permission from the Foreigners' Authority. Germany measures this in days per year, not hours per week — working more requires approval.
