First degree: What are the chances of a full deduction for income-related expenses?

Expenses for the first vocational training and for the first degree as initial training, which are not completed as part of a training employment relationship (e.g. apprenticeship), are currently only deductible as special expenses up to a limit of 6,000 Euro, while the costs for any educational measures after completing vocational training, including a first degree after an apprenticeship, can be fully considered as business expenses (§ 4 para. 9, § 9 para. 6, § 10 para. 1 no. 7 and § 12 no. 5 EStG).
