The BTU Cottbus does not charge tuition fees and therefore the BTU has only a limited number of scholarships available for international students. 

The International Office is nevertheless pleased to be able to grant a limited number of scholarships for foreign students. 

Additional financial support for foreign students is also available from other sources.
