You must prove that you are insured in case of illness during the academic year (health insurance). If your current insurance does not cover illness in Germany, you must take out a new insurance policy in Germany; otherwise you will not be enrolled by the Student Administration Office. If, on the other hand, your insurance does cover cases of illness in Germany, you can be exempted from compulsory insurance if you provide the appropriate proof.

A semester fee must be paid to Saarland University. The amount changes annually (currently 289 euros per semester). This amount includes the so-called semester ticket, which allows you to use all buses and trains in the Saarland free of charge, as well as the administrative fee of 50 euros. LL.M. students are exempt from paying the administrative fee (link), so the total semester fee is 239 euros per semester.

The tuition fees for the LL.M. Master's programme amount to EUR 500 per semester.
