The University of Tübingen is a public research university in the city of Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg. The University of Tübingen is a full university with seven faculties for Protestant and Catholic theology, law, medicine, humanities, economics, social sciences, mathematics, computing and natural sciences. Its institutional development 1474 — Count Eberhard asked for permission to found a university. 1477 — the university was founded and taught theology, law, medicine and philosophy. Today its academic profile is defined by theology, law, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, humanities, languages, history, archaeology, philosophy, education, economics, business, social sciences, mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy and earth science. Location is key. Historic institutes around Tübingen’s old town complement the Morgenstelle science campus and university hospital sites, linking students with clinics, neuroscience and AI centers, museums, archives, biotechnology, schools, research institutes and the greater Stuttgart and Neckar-Alb region.

The course portfolio presented in this master file comprises 18 undergraduate entries and 17 postgraduate entries. Subject combinations have been merged under the parent degrees where applicable. Examples of undergraduate degrees include Biochemistry, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Computer Science and Economics, while postgraduate degrees include Psychology, Teacher Education and Theology. Postgraduate studies are offered in such fields as Applied and Environmental Geoscience, Astro and Particle Physics, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Technologies, Computer Science, Economics, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies, Quantitative Data Science Methods, Social and Cultural Anthropology. Each of the courses is still a parent qualification and specialisations are captured in the course entry rather than being falsely portrayed as separate degrees. This row summarises major parent qualifications and notes concentrations, subject combinations, teaching tracks and elective pathways within the relevant degree, rather than listing them as distinct programs.

Admission is at the program level. Applicants use the online or program-specific route assigned to the qualification, nationality and degree. Restricted and unrestricted courses, non-EU credentials, master’s programs, medicine, pharmacy, teacher education, aptitude subjects and doctorates have different deadlines, academic conditions, language evidence and documents. Before submitting the application, applicants should check the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and route of documents. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry for a doctorate is distinct from entry for a bachelor’s or master’s degree and normally requires a viable research proposal, the availability of appropriate supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty.

The semester fee for the winter semester 2026/27 is € 194.80. Many international students from non-EU countries have to pay an additional €1,500 tuition per semester, according to the law of Baden-Württemberg. A second degree costs €650. Doctoral candidates and other groups specified by law are exempt. The institutional charges do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.

Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
