With an Income Share Agreement, you can focus on your studies at Europe’s first digital medical school, while Chancen eG takes care of your tuition fees – partially or in full. In exchange, you commit to affording future generations with the same opportunity. Once you start working and earn above the minimum income threshold, you start making income-based repayments.
The Income Share Agreements (ISA) ensures equal access to education with a fair financial solution, irrespective of your current financial status.
CHANCEN eG makes it possible for you to study as you wish. During your studies, CHANCEN eG pays your tuition fees and you can concentrate fully on your education.
After you graduate, you pay back a pre-determined portion of your income to the solidarity community - so, unlike a loan, there is no fixed debt burden.
Repayment does not begin until you exceed the minimum gross income of 27,000 euros, less income-related expenses. Therefore repayments are only made if you can really afford it.
At the same time, your contribution is capped and ends automatically when you reach the set maximum limit. Therefore, a high income does not mean an extremely high repayment.

During your studies we will cover the tuition fees. After your graduation you pay a share of your relevant income to CHANCEN eG for 8 years. If your income is below the minimum income of 27,000 euros of relevant income, your repayment is suspended and postponed. The relevant income is the positive income (gross) reduced by income-related expenses. The flat-rate deduction for self-employed persons is 16.4%.
In the case of combined Bachelor and Master financing, a financing contract is first concluded for the Bachelor. At the start of the Master’s programme, a new contract for the overall financing is concluded, which replaces the contract for the Bachelor’s financing. The conditions at the time of the start of the Master’s programme apply.
| Years | Tuition fees | Financing of CHANCEN eG amounts to | Repayment years | Income share in % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor of Medicine | 3 | 58,500 € | 27,000 € | 10 | 15.00 |
| Master of Medicine | 2.5 | 39,000 € | 39,000 € | 8 | 14.44 |
| Bachelor + Master of Medicine | 5.5 | 97,500 € | 45,500 € | 10 | 15.00 |
General interest rates are changing a lot at the moment due to the central banks’ reaction to inflation. As a result, the costs of CHANCEN eG are also changing significantly. CHANCEN eG may therefore have to change the conditions at short notice.
