The semester ticket is included in your semester fee

The semester ticket was introduced by law and is subject to negotiation between the HWR Berlin General Students‘ Committee and the public transport authorities.

Students at the HWR Berlin pay for the semester ticket within the scope of the semester fee due as part of the enrolment and re-enrolment process. This fee is not conditional upon use. A vote by HWR Berlin students endorsed the provision of the semester ticket. Payment for the semester ticket is due upon enrolment and re-enrolment.

Valid only with your official ID card

The ticket is non-transferable and valid only with your official ID card. Many universities have issued regulations which provide for dispensations freeing students from paying the semester ticket fee.

The Deutschlandsemester ticket is an example of social funding and can only be provided at an affordable price if every student contributes to the cost. Students can opt out of paying the fee if they meet one of eight criteria specified on the homepage of the General Students‘ Committee.
