Finance your studies with a student loan
Bildungskredit: The German student loan

Unlike BAFöG, a student loan is not dependent on your own, your parents’, your spouse’s or partner’s income. In fact, a student loan can even be combined with other financing options, including BAFöG. You can adapt the loan amount and your monthly instalments to fit your individual needs – while benefiting from low interest and repayment rates.

Student loan details

Advantages of the student loan: 

  • Loan amount between 1,000 and 7,200 euros
  • Flexible payment in amounts of 100 – 300 euros per month, tailored to each student's needs
  • Simple online application process via the Federal Office of Administration
  • Repayment does not begin until four years after first payout
  • Low interest rate
