Before the start of a semester, the semester fee must be paid. This was previously €262 (€25 will be added for late payment). From the summer semester 2024 it will be €263,40. This amount is for the Studentenwerk Leipzig and is only "collected" by the HMT and passed on to the Studentenwerk Leipzig. €5 of the €263,40 will go to the Student Council of HMT Leipzig. The deadline for transferring the semester fee is mid-July for the winter semester and mid-January for the summer semester.
During a semester the study programme fee is charged. Since this is dependent on the subject semester and leaves of absence, among other things, this happens in the course of a semester. You will usually receive the invoice for the respective semester in April and October by post. Inside is a transfer slip with an individual purpose of use, which is different from the purpose of use for the semester fee. The payment deadline for the study programme fee is always at the end of a semester.
Both amounts are therefore always paid at the end of a semester, but once in advance (semester fee) and once afterwards (study programme fee). |
For more information on the semester fee and study programme fees, see »Fees and Scholarships«.

The excused lessons in due form can be rearranged with your teachers. Unexcused lessons expire.
If the illness evidentially lasts longer than 10 teaching weeks per semester, you can even subsequently apply for a leave of absence due to illness.
Generally, leaves need to be applied for during the re-registration period. There are two available forms, according to the reason for leave of absence. Please submit the completed form either to the dean or to Inka Daubner-Mensching (head of the Department od Student Affairs).
If you are planning a stay abroad for ERASMUS, please use the form "application for educational release due to ERASMUS", and submit it to Mr Clever.
Students in the teacher training programmes who go abroad via the University of Leipzig submit a leave of absence application (Studienaufenthalte im Ausland) with the confirmation of the partner university.
An exoneration from lessons need to be approved by the prorector for academic affairs. Reasons for exoneration may be:
Please apply for exoneration at the prorector via eMail in sufficient time and attach the respective contracts or proofs.
Studying at HMT is also possible on a part-time basis, provided this is provided for in the study regulations for the respective degree programme.
In this case, the student workload per semester is generally reduced to half of the full-time study. The standard period of study and the deadlines for taking examinations are extended in accordance with the part-time portion. The total amount of teaching required for individual lessons and group lessons in small groups is not increased by this. The individual lessons of a full-time semester may be divided into two part-time semesters.
HMT offers the possibility of part-time study "for personal reasons" or "work related".
For part-time studies, please submit an appropriate application.
Forms for the respective reasons (private or work-related) can be found in the download section. (use filter-options for better orientation)
Before submitting your application, you should take advantage of the opportunity to receive student advisory service.
She will also advise you on the distribution of your classes, which must be noted on the forms.
The intended change in the form of study must be applied for within the re-registration deadlines. It requires the approval of the Prorector for Academic Affairs.
Only with an approved application can you be granted part-time study.
If you have properly completed your studies, you will be automatically deregistred by the examination office. The deregistration date depends on the compliance of the regular period of study.
If you complete your studies within the regular period, you will be deregistered at the end of the semester (31.08., or 28.02). If you complete after the regular period of study, you will be deregistered one day after your last exam. This can be done in retroactive effect if, for example, at delay of the correction of your final thesis.
Would you like to complete your studies ahead of schedule, please submit the form “application for deregistration” and “deregistration from the library” at the student office.
The deregistration form must be approved by the prorector of academic affairs, so it may take a few days until you can get the written confirmation of your deregistration of the prorector.
Participation in HMT committees entitles you to temporal balance for your studies.
Students who have served at least one electoral period in the governing bodies of the university, the student body, the student union or the study commission (according to the SächsHSFG) shall not be credited with one semester of study towards the standard period of study. In the case of participation over several years, a period of study of 3 semesters is not counted towards the standard period of study.
No separate application needs to be made for this.

In order to study in Germany, you need a valid health insurance. Travel health insurance is not included and is not sufficient. You cannot be enrolled without a health insurance, that is valid for your studies.
There are two types of health insurance in Germany:
If you are covered by group insurance as part of a scholarship programme (for example DAAD), you will need confirmation from a statutory health insurance provider that you are exempt from statutory health insurance. |
Please note that your insurance may not cover all costs in Germany. You should therefore make sure that you know exactly which benefits you are entitled to in Germany before you enter the country. If you come from an EU state, EEA state, Switzerland or an agreement country, you remain insured in your home country. With your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), your Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or your certificate of entitlement, you can go directly to a doctor in Germany. You need the machine confirmation from the statutory German health insurance in Germany that you do not have to insure yourself in Germany. Please provide the following information to a statutory German health insurance
provider:
Your contact person at BARMER: Michael Thude Tel: +49341 35047239; +49160 90456151 |
Your contact person at the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK): Dominik Moch Tel: +49 40-46065103-004; +49 160-4826545 |
Private health insurance from other countries may be recognised in Germany. You should clarify this with your insurance company. Usually, private health insurance is suitable for everyone over the age of 30. You can also take out this insurance in Germany. Is your private insurance recognised in Germany? Then you need a confirmation for enrolment that you are exempt from compulsory statutory health insurance. For this purpose, please apply to a statutory health insurance fund for a notice of exemption from compulsory health insurance as a student.
