In addition to the aforementioned contract data, the following conditions – besides the legal regulations of the State of Brandenburg
regarding universities, the study and exam rules, and the university guidelines in their respectively valid versions – apply to the
agreement on university studies concluded between the university and the student (hereinafter referred to as the "Student
Contract"), whereas deviating terms may apply to students from the EU (hereinafter: "EU Students") and students from outside of
the EU (hereinafter: "Non-EU Students"):
§ 2 ACADEMIC PROGRAMME:
(1) Registration: If the admission conditions are fulfilled and, if applicable, upon passing the selection procedure and signing the
Student Contract, the candidates will be registered for the respective academic programme. Registration cannot take place
if university admission is not granted, so if a completed registration is deemed invalid due to incorrect statements by the
Student, the university will reverse the registration.
(2) Start of studies and regular number of semesters for the academic programme: Depending on the registration date, the
academic programme begins at the start of the summer or winter semester, and ends on passing all required exam
requirements for the university degree, or on the final failure of an exam requirement or expiration of the right to take the
exam within the regular number of semesters for the academic programme. The regular number of semesters is the period
of studies within which an academic programme can be completed. It includes integrated semesters abroad, internships and
other practical occupational phases in the course of studies, as well as the exams (Sec. 18 (2) BbgHG (“Brandenburgisches
Hochschulgesetz”) [Law of the State of Brandenburg regarding Universities]. The regular number of semesters for the
individual academic programmes is specified in the respective exam rules for the course of study.
(3) Required elective modules and elective modules: The Student is informed that the actual realisation of the required elective
module and all other elective modules depends on the required minimum number of 20 participants being reached for the
respective module. If the minimum number of participants is not reached for a specific module, the University expressly
reserves the right not to offer this module. In that case, the Student will need to choose a different module.
(4) Diploma/certificates: If needed (e.g. for the purpose of applying for an education grant according to BAföG [Federal Law
concerning the Promotion of Education or Training] or for submission to the health insurer, etc.), a registration certificate or
record of study can be issued to the Student prior to or during the studies respectively. An exam certificate will be issued only
upon payment of all due tuition fees. Issuance of the diploma additionally requires the return of all items borrowed from the
university.
page 3 of 11
(4) As a University of a private carrier, UE, as all private universities, is subject to the rules of the market, whereby a partial or
complete discontinuation of the academic work cannot be ruled out entirely. If this highly unlikely event should occur,
Students will have the possibility to continue their studies at a different university within the University’s own group of
universities operating worldwide or at a different private university. Likewise, the University will issue certificates of the
performed studies and exams.
(5) In case of force majeure, which makes holding courses with personal attendance impossible or in the event that the lecturer
is ill, the University shall be entitled to conduct courses digitally (e.g. online tutorials, live webinars, interactive exercises,
online seminars and similar offers) instead of in-person courses, and to make digital study documentation (e.g. as pdf files)
available, which shall be deemed an equivalent performance of services in such an event.
§ 5 TUITION FEES
(1) The tuition fees cover:
a) implementation of the courses for the respective academic programme;
b) the evaluation of exams taken;
c) academic pedagogic advising by employees of the University and lecturers;
d) use of the University’s IT services (CampusNet, software licenses, online databases, which are made available by the
University);
e) initial issuance of exam reports, certificates, diplomas and official documents;
f) participation in the defined, mandatory exams and the courses of the curriculum;
g) all fees for exams and the advising of final papers, and the crediting of already performed prior academic work.
On campuses where a master agreement regarding Semester Tickets for Students applies between the University and the
respectively local transport association, Students have to purchase a ticket from the respective transport association for each
page 4 of 11
semester, which comes at costs in addition to the listed tuition fee. The costs for the ticket will be indicated in the respectively
applicable amount on the University’s semester invoice. Details regarding the use of public transport can be found in the
terms of transport of the respective transport association.
(2) Not included in the tuition fees are:
a) additional equipment, e.g. laptop/tablet (including the software required for the respective course of studies), pocket
calculator, art supplies, costs for printing, etc., or further literature , which is needed for participation in the respective
teaching and exam formats;
b) any costs of the Student for telephone, postage and remote data transmission;
c) costs for travel, accommodation and meals incurred for the participation in compulsory or elective courses or
internships;
d) all costs relating to semesters abroad or internships, and stays abroad in the course of a Master’s programme (e.g. a
summer/winter school), including the tuition fees of other universities, unless these are covered by joint venture
agreements, and the related expenses for travel, accommodation, meals, insurances, etc.;
e) costs incurred by visiting external events or utilisation of third party services (e.g. admission fees for visits to
museums, exhibitions, library cards);
f) potential attendance of additional courses beyond the curriculum of the academic programme defined in the
contractual data;
g) costs for the issuance of copies of the documents named under § 5 (1) lit. e).
(3) Due date: On the conclusion of this Student Contract, the tuition fee will be owed for the entire period of the academic
programme. If the academic programme is completed before the end of the regular number of semesters, the amount of the
tuition fee will remain unaffected by this. The University offers settlement of the tuition fee in instalments per semester. The
tuition fee shall also be paid during a semester abroad or a practice semester.
The agreed tuition fee shall be payable by the first calendar day of the respective start of the semester as defined in § 3 (2).
Payment can be remitted either by a SEPA direct debit mandate set up for an account at a German banking institution or by
way of bank transfer.
(4) Exceedance of the regular number of semesters: If the academic programme is not completed within the regular number of
semesters, the Student shall be obligated to pay an additional tuition fee for each extension semester for missing credit
points:
If the Student has already earned all necessary credit points and only needs to complete the final paper (Bachelor’s or
Master’s thesis including related colloquia or defences), the payable additional tuition fee will amount to 1/6 of one semester
instalment, as specified under Contract data of this Student Contract, for each semester.
(5) Discounts: The University grants different types of discounts, which cannot be combined with each other. A discount may be
granted on application prior to the signing of the contract, provided that the respective conditions are fulfilled. In case the
conditions for several discounts are fulfilled, only one price discount will be granted. The fee for the public transport semester
ticket according to § 5 (1) is excluded from the discounts.
(6) Leave semester: Leave will be granted on request. The request must be submitted to the University with a period of one
month before the start of the semester for which the leave semester is requested. In special cases of hardship, it is also
permissible to submit a request at a later time. The request must be reasoned in writing; corresponding verifications shall be
presented. In case of a leave semester, the University will charge a fee of €500.00 for the incurred processing costs.
(7) Default: The Student will be in default if the fees are not received on the aforementioned account of the University by the 1st
calendar day of the respective semester start according to § 3 (2) or if an attempted direct debit was not successful. In that
case, the University shall be entitled to charge default interest in the amount of 2% above the applicable base interest rate
as of the 2nd day of the corresponding month.
page 5 of 11
notice period of 1 month until the last day before semester start. In this event, a one-off fee in the equivalent amount of 1/6
of one gross semester fee is payable according to the information under ‘Contract data’ of this Student Contract.
(2) Ordinary termination: After the semester start, the Student Contract can be terminated ordinarily with a notice period of 1
month before the end of the respective semester. If the termination is not declared within due time for the next semester,
the full fee for the semester shall be paid. The right of extraordinary termination continues to apply.
(3) Termination for non-issuance of a visa for Non-EU-students: If the visa for Non-EU Students is refused by the competent
German consulate due to reasons not based on student´s fault, the Student Contract can be terminated without notice
period, when the rejection letter from the German consulate has been presented to the University. In this case, the
reservation fee as well as any tuition fees already paid shall be refunded less a processing fee of €150.
(4) Termination during a leave semester: If the Student Contract is terminated during a leave semester, which was requested
after the prescribed period for this (see § 5 (6)), one full semester tuition fee shall be paid retrospectively instead of the fee
for a leave semester.
(5) Form of termination: The notice of termination must be verifiably received by the University by the aforementioned dates
(email to: [email protected] or to the email address of the respectively competent Student Service
department).
(6) Extraordinary termination: Both parties’ rights of extraordinary termination for good cause according to§ 314 BGB shall
remain unaffected. Good cause is given in particular if the continuation of the contractual relationship until the agreed
termination or until the expiration of a notice period cannot be reasonably expected from the terminating party, in
consideration of all circumstances of the individual case and in consideration of the interests of both parties. Proof of good
cause being given shall be presented on request.
Any impossibility of performance that is not anticipatable for the University and not at its fault (e.g. in consequence of sudden
illness of the lecturer, for reason of force majeure, etc.) shall not grant the student the right of extraordinary termination or
of withholding of any due fees.
In particular, in the following cases, the University reserves the right to terminate the Student Contract without notice upon
prior written warning:
(a) in case of persistent or serious violation of the applicable study and exam rules and of the University terms and
conditions and guidelines by the Student.
(b) In case of conduct in stark contrast to the contract and in case of continued disruption or neglect of the courses,
which is given in particular if:
i. the Student has failed to perform in the way required by the applicable study and exam rules, and in the
way justifying his/her staying at the University;
ii. the Student has neither attended courses nor taken exams for at least the duration of one semester.
In the event of an extraordinary termination of the Student Contract by the University, which is due to the student’s
conduct, the tuition fees for the complete semester will remain payable.
(7) Termination for default: The Student Contract can be terminated extraordinarily by the University if the Student is in
default/arrears of payment in full or in part for more than 60 days, in spite of a dunning, and if no other written agreements
with the University have been made in this regard. By termination of the Student Contract, no further participation in the
academic programme and related offers of the University will be possible anymore.
(8) Deregistration: The University has the right and duty to deregister the Student according to the regulations of the Law of the
State of Brandenburg regarding Universities or the respectively relevant study and exam rules of the University and these
terms of contract. In that case, the Student Contract will end toward and not before the end of the semester of deregistration.
In the case of deregistration because exams have been failed, this Student Contract shall expire at the end of the month in
which deregistration takes place. In case of the termination of this Student Contract by the University or the Student,
deregistration will also be effected at the same time.
(9) Postponement of the start of studies: In individual cases, it may be requested that the start of studies can be postponed to
the next semester or to the semester that is offered in the academic programme. The request shall be submitted to the
University in writing stating the reasons and, if applicable, enclosing the corresponding verifications, at the latest up to 4
weeks after the start of the relevant semester. Another (second) postponement can only be granted in reasoned exceptions
in appropriate consideration of the interests of the Student and of the University.
If the postponement of the start of studies is granted, the tuition shall become due only on the date of the actual start of
studies. Repayment of the reservation fee to Non-EU Students is excluded in these cases. If the Student terminates his/her
contract prior to the start of studies, a fee will be invoiced, as it would have had to be paid, had the Student cancelled on the
date of the postponement, see § 6 (1).
§ 7 Rights of use
The Student transfers all potential copyrights, ancillary copyrights and rights of use being created in the course of the studies to the
University for non-exclusive and unlimited use. The University shall be entitled in particular to use the transferred rights for the
page 6 of 11
University’s commercial purposes. The transfer also includes the right of the University to make optionally many reproductions and
disseminate the protected results. The University is not obligated to actually exploit the rights of use. A right of revocation in the
Student’s entitlement pursuant to Sec. 41 UrhG [German Copyright Act] for non-exercise of the right of use is precluded for a period
of five years.
The transfer of the rights of use also relates to such types of use, which were still unknown on the date of the signing of this contract.
The Parties agree that no claim is established for remuneration for the transfer. Any rights of the Student pursuant to Sec. 32, Sec.
32a and/or Sec. 32c UrhG shall remain unaffected thereof.
§ 9 LIABILITY
As part of its obligations arising from this Student Contract, the University generally does not assume any liability in the event of loss
and/or damage or other disappearance of valuables or other items owned by the Student. This applies in particular to items and
valuables on the campus premises or on the way to the premises and inside of rooms in which courses or other events for Students
take place.
§ 10 FINAL PROVISIONS
(1) Changes and amendments to this Student Contract require the written form for validity and the signatures of all parties. This
also applies to any change of this provision.
(2) If a provision of this Agreement should be or become fully or partly void or ineffective, the validity of the remaining
provisions shall not be affected by this. If one of the foregoing clauses should be invalid, said clause shall be replaced by
such a clause, which comes closest to what was intended by the University and the Student. The remaining clauses shall
remain unaffected.
(3) This Student Contract is exclusively governed by German law.
By my signature, I confirm to have received, read and understood the Student Contract and I grant my agreement to
the terms of the contract.

DATA PRIVACY
STUDENT’S CONSENT TO THE USE OF PERSONAL DATA ACCORDING TO SEC. 6 GDPR AND SEC. 14 BbgHG
(1) In order to perform the services agreed under this Student Contract correctly and efficiently; in particular so as to be able
to offer, realise and evaluate courses, accounting, and invoicing, University online services, international academic offers
with partner universities in the GUS network, dual or extra-occupational courses of study, the use and automated
processing of personal data using data processing systems is necessary. This pertains to various processes such as the input
of personal data in the application process and their electronic storage in the Customer Relationship Management
database; the automatic transmission and processing of the stored data via the internal Campus Net database after the
signing of the contract; use of the Campus Net portal for messaging services of the exam office and the administration of
the University until the end of the studies. Furthermore, the coordination and implementation of the dual courses of study
jointly with vocational schools and other institutions, and the semester abroad as part of the student exchange with
partner universities require the use and electronic processing of personal data. The University is authorised to
automatically process or contract a service provider for the processing of my personal data for the purposes of
implementing the studies and exams, for the management of student affairs, and for administrative purposes. The
University shall inform the recipient of my personal data that the transmitted data may be processed or used only for the
purpose for fulfilment of which they have been transmitted. The aforementioned data must not be sent to other third
parties for the purposes of advertising.
(2) The processing of the personal data specified in paragraph (1) above can be operated, if applicable, partly within the scope
of the commissioned data processing according to Sec. 11 BDSG [German Federal Data Protection Act]. For example, the
University uses the services of the GUS Shared Services abroad in other European countries within the scope of
administration and accounting. Processing outside of the EU is excluded. This can also apply to processing in the United
States of America or other countries, which do not have a protection standard that is equivalent of the data protection
standard applicable in the EU. In these cases, if applicable, the processing currently takes place on the basis of the so-
called standard contract clauses of the EU, which have been drafted by the EU Commission and which are to ensure a data
protection standard being observed by the recipient, which is comparable to the data protection standard of the EU. If the
EU Commission should decree other requirements for data protection in the future, whereby a comparable data
protection standard is created at the recipient’s location, which is comparable to the data protection standard of the EU,
these regulations can also apply. The regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act and the relevant laws for the
protection of personal data shall remain unaffected for the rest.
(3) In accordance with Sec. 14 (9) BbgHG (“Brandenburgisches Hochschulgesetz”) [Law of the State of Brandenburg regarding
Universities], the University is authorised to use the personal data of its former members and students (alumni), insofar
as this is required for the purpose of survey in the context of quality assurance and for evaluations pursuant to § 7 (2) or
for maintaining contacts with these persons. The storage of data, in particular as relates to exam results and degrees, is
regulated pursuant to the BbgHG.
(4) I am informed that a refusal or revocation of the consent can entail the immediate and irreversible deletion of my personal
data. My data may continue to be used in that case only within the limits of the applicable legal regulations based on
statutory conditions for permission. This can entail that services pursuant to this contract can no longer be performed or
only to a limited extent or only belatedly, as the performance of these services depends on the electronic processing of
data and the transfer and processing of these data to and by third parties.
BY SIGNING THIS CONTRACT, I GRANT MY CONSENT TO THE USE AND STORING OF MY PERSONAL DATA TO THE EXTENT AS
DESCRIBED IN § 11 (1) TO (4).
I HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER THE LAW TO REVOKE THE CONSENT GRANTED BY THE SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT AT
ANY TIME IN WRITING OR BY EMAIL.
The revocation shall be directed in writing to the data protection officer at: University of Europe for Applied
Sciences GmbH, Dessauer Str. 3-5, 10963 Berlin, or by email to: [email protected]
By my signature, I confirm to have received, read and understood the Data Privacy Statement and I consent thereto.

Annex 3 to the Student Contract
The user undertakes to use the services of the University Network of UE for the intended purpose.
In particular, he/she undertakes not to abuse the possibilities to access the UE University Network and to refrain from
any rights infringing or illegal activities. This includes in particular, refraining from merely any attempt to
- use other participants’ login details for the UE University Network without authorisation,
- use unapproved services without authorisation,
- decrypt passwords of other participants of the UE University Network or of the system operator,
- read emails of other participants without authorisation,
- modify the files of other participants,
- interrupt or block communications services, e.g. by overload, if this is caused by the user,
- disseminate or provide access to criminally liable contents of any kind using the services of the UE University
Network.
- The latter applies in particular regarding pornographic contents, contents glorifying violence or such that are aimed
against the free and democratic basic order or the concept of international understanding, and regarding
propaganda and symbols of anti-constitutional parties and associations or their surrogate organisations.
Furthermore, the user acknowledges that he/she is prohibited from installing unlicensed software on a university
computer or making copies of software or having such copies be made.
UE reserves the right to block the login one semester after the end of the studies and to delete the user’s data stored
on the UE University Network. Moreover, the storage capacity of the email account and home directory can be limited
if this becomes necessary due to the exceedance of the overall capacity made available.
