What does the amount cost per month?
Assumption: a semester has six months and you pay the 403 euros once. Then this comes to about 67.17 euros per month (403 euros divided by six). This calculation is only for planning and does not replace the payment notice.

Why does the information come from the AStA?
Student bodies often publish their fee information in their own archives. The AStA archive is not a fee notice from the university. Therefore always compare the figure with the payment notice that the university sends you.

What is the semester fee at the University of Kiel for the winter semester 2026/27?
According to the AStA archive, it is 403 euros. The figure was accessed in October 2026 and carries no breakdown.
Why is the breakdown missing?
The archive gives only the total. Ask the student office of the university about the individual items.
Is the semester fee the same as health insurance?
No. The semester fee goes to the university and the student body. Health insurance is paid separately to your health insurer.

What is the difference between the AStA figure and my payment notice?
The AStA archive shows a total, while your payment notice shows the amount you owe. If the two differ, the payment notice is binding and you should ask the student office. Keep the archive page with its access date as evidence.
How do I recognise a genuine payment notice?
Genuine payment notices contain your student ID number, a payment reference and bank details that belong to the university. If in doubt, call the student office using the contact details on the university page, not the details in an email.
Three steps to take
- Open the payment notice and check the amount, the deadline and the bank details.
- Make the transfer with the payment reference and save the receipt.
- If you are unsure, ask the student office to confirm that the payment has arrived.
Can I pay in instalments?
The figure names no instalment plan. Ask the student office before you plan a partial payment. Instalments are only possible if the university expressly allows them.
So proceed now
- Compare your payment notice with the total of 403 euros.
- Ask the student office for the breakdown if items are missing or amounts differ.
- Keep the proof of payment until your re-enrolment is confirmed.
