With the semester fee contribution to the Studentenwerk, students support the following services:
- favourable student meal prices in the Mensas and Cafeterias
- counselling services such as psychosocial counselling, social counselling,
- legal counselling, part-time job placement, childcare
- mobility services such as self-help bicycle workshops
- promotion of student cultural events
- special support for students with children, international students and students with disabilities
The semester fee is based on the Principle of Solidarity:
- Everyone pays a small contribution regardless of whether they actually use the services provided or not,
- Everyone can benefit, especially those who are particularly dependent on support.
Semester fees account for around 15% of Studentenwerk Leipzig’s funding. Most of the income comes from the sales revenue of the canteens, cafeterias and student residences (approx. 60 %).
