Financing your studies with the Income Share Agreement
How does Brain Capital Funding works?
Freedom
The decision is in your hands – anything is possible!
Study now - pay later. You have the freedom to decide what you want to do after your studies. Perhaps you would like to do a Master's degree or a doctorate? Do you want to explore the world, look after your family or work independently? No problem! Your payments adapt to your financial possibilities.
We cover up to 100% of your tuition fees at your preferred university and in some of our partner universities, we also cover a part of your living costs.
The payment period does not start until you graduate and start your career.
If you would like to complete a further course of study (Master's, doctorate, etc.), you do not start with the payment period if you are not earning a defined minimum income.
If you earn less than the minimum income due to self-employment, part-time work, parental/care leave or other reasons, you are not obliged to pay in the respective calendar year.
The maximum repayment is capped.
We do not check your family's income. Only your personal annual income is relevant for us
The funding with Brain Capital can be combined as well with scholarships or BAföG.

Your Advantages
Fairness
The fixed income share guarantees payments adapted to your financial situation. If you earn less, you pay less. If your earnings are above average, your payments are capped.
Freedom/flexibility
Whether it's a master’s degree, a doctorate, a trip around the world, parental leave... As soon as your annual income falls below the minimum income, the payment obligation shifts. Only you can decide on your career and life planning.
Security
If your annual income is below the minimum income (e.g. illness), the payment obligation does not apply. The risk of a fixed debt burden is eliminated as there is no fixed repayment plan. There is also no credit entry.
Solidarity principle
Your income-related payments flow back into the education fund and give future students access to the Reverse Generation Contract. Through this, you give back a small part of what you have achieved through your studies.
Tax savings
According to current German legislation, your payments are deferred tuition fees. These costs are largely tax-deductible* in Germany and can lead to a reduction in your tax burden.
