Funding & loans
BAföG is often not enough to cover your living expenses or has not been approved. The KFW student loan and the education loan can help you here. If you find yourself in need at short notice, we can support you with a small loan. And sometimes there is also the possibility for students to receive housing allowance.

In addition to BAföG, there are other financial support options for people in or after their training. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research presents them.
Short-term loans are for students who are in financial need through no fault of their own. The loans are not intended as acquisition loans and are granted interest-free.
Around two thirds of students work alongside their studies. There are various forms of employment. You can find all the important information in this flyer.
