Study quality funds

Simultaneously with the abolition of tuition fees, the study quality funds were introduced in the winter semester 2014/15 (§ 14 of the Lower Saxony Higher Education Act). The contributions will be used to improve the quality of teaching and study conditions.

The use of the funds is decided by the Central Study Quality Fund Commission (central funds) and the study commissions (decentral funds) in agreement with the Presidium.
