GENERAL INFORMATION

In the summer semester 2024, the nationwide semester ticket is being introduced at the University of Rostock for the first time. This extends the scope of the semester ticket to the whole of Germany; the conditions of the Deutschlandticket apply. The cost arising from the current contract is € 164 per student per semester.

As before, the semester ticket is still organised according to the principle of solidarity: every student pays the above-mentioned amount, regardless of whether they want to use the semester ticket or not. In this way, every student finances the extremely favourable conditions under which the majority of students can use public transport. In certain exceptional cases, however, a refund is granted by the VVW. Applications for reimbursement are processed by the General Students’ Committee (AStA) in accordance with contractual requirements and the student body’s contribution regulations (Beitragsordnung der Studierendenschaft).
