How to evaluate this university
Freie Universität Berlin's degree catalogue is the place to distinguish a regular bachelor's or master's degree from continuing-education programmes. It is also where a prospective student must check teaching language and admission conditions; a no-tuition policy for regular degrees does not make every offering English-taught or unrestricted.
Interpreting the published cost
The university states that regular degree programmes do not generally charge tuition, while semester fees and contributions remain payable. Continuing-education programmes can charge tuition. Someone comparing Berlin with a tuition-charging destination must include semester contributions and living expenses, and must not apply the regular-degree rule to an executive course.
Before applying
Select a named degree in the official catalogue, confirm whether it is a regular degree or continuing education, and follow that programme's language and admission route. The fee policy settles only tuition category; it does not establish eligibility, application timing or a complete Berlin living budget.
