I started paying around 250 Euro when starting my study at the university (2009). This term I had to pay aroung 290 Euro. The fee for the TU Berlin is composed of: Verwaltungsgebühr (gem. § 2 Abs. 7 BerlHG) (administrative fee) 50,00 € Beitrag zur Studierendenschaft (Contribution to the student body) 8,70 € Beitrag zum Studentenwerk (Contribution to the Student Services) 48,77 € Beitrag zum Semesterticket (Contribution to the semester ticket) 179,40 € Beitrag zum Sozialfonds zum Semesterticket (Contribution to the Social Fund for Semesterticket) 3,50 € = 290,37 € Of course it is still much cheaper than to study in other countries. But the fees are growing and you have to pay for the semester ticket, which is essentially a ticket for all public transportation in Berlin, even though you wouldn't need it. *Translated with Google Translator
