目的：关于学费（德国已经废除），人们怀疑学费有延长学习时间等假定的缺点，但没有明确证明学费的好处。我们调查了学费（每学期500欧元）是否影响了科隆医学院学生的学习课程，并询问了学生对学费的立场。研究方法：在1,324名学生中，我们分别分析了在最短时间内通过第一次体检（“Physikum”）的学生比例和学生的辍学率。回归分析测试学费和人口因素的假定影响。在另一项在线调查中，400名学生回答了关于学费负担和他们对学费的立场的问题。结果如下：我们发现，费用并没有影响率科隆学生通过他们的第一次体检在最短的时间或学生的辍学率。根据在线调查，在学费上涨时，有更多的学生没有如期上课。花在赚钱上的时间大大增加。51%的学生谁不得不支付学费和71%的人谁从来没有表示学费是不合理的。超过三分之二的学生认为学费没有任何持久的好处。结论：学费不影响科隆医学生的辍学率或学习时间。然而，他们显然影响了学习课程，因为他们越来越需要从事副业。科隆医学院的学生，而拒绝学费，并没有认识到自己的优势，在提高学习质量方面。
Aim: Regarding tuition fees (that in Germany already have been abrogated) putative drawbacks like prolonged study duration have been suspected while benefits are not clearly proven. We investigated whether tuition fees (500 Euro per semester) affected the course of studies of Cologne medical students and asked for students’ stance over tuition fees. Methods: Of 1,324 students we analyzed the rate of those passing their first medical exam (“Physikum”) within minimum time and students’ discontinuation rate, respectively. Regression analysis tested for putative influences of tuition fees and demographic factors. In an additional online survey 400 students answered questions regarding the load by and their stance over tuition fees. Results: We find that fees did not affect rate of Cologne students passing their first medical exam within minimum time or students’ discontinuation rate. According to the online survey, at times of tuition fees significantly more students did not attend courses as scheduled. Time spent on earning money was significantly increased. 51% of students who had to pay tuition fees and 71% of those who never had to stated tuition fees to be not justified. More than two thirds of students did not recognize any lasting benefit from tuition fees. Conclusion: Tuition fees did not affect discontinuation rate or study duration of Cologne medical students. However, they obviously influenced the study course due to an increased need to pursue a sideline. Cologne medical students rather refused tuition fees and did not recognize their advantages in terms of enhanced quality of studies.
