If the exchange rate moves. Today 1 EUR = 1.12 USD (rate of 8 November 2026). A 10% move either way changes this first year by about USD 1,510, and a whole three to four-year degree by roughly USD 4,540 to USD 6,050. Plan with a margin, and pay large sums when the rate suits you.

Worth knowing. Slowakisch unterrichtete Studiengänge sind kostenlos, aber Studiengänge in Fremdsprachen verlangen Gebühren, und die Arbeitszeitbegrenzung beträgt 80 Stunden pro Monat statt einer wöchentlichen Angabe.
