Can Matlab Student compile cpp to mex files (not to a standalone application)?
for example, something like this:
#include "mex.h"
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[]) { / blubb */}
Thanks Simon

Yes,
But, You must have a supported c++ compiler installed and configured (mex -setup) on your system. MATLAB does not ship with a c++ compiler.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, even if you have a compiler (like Visual Studio). The MATLAB Compiler product is not able to be installed on student editions is what I believe I've heard, and it seems to NOT be on the list of available add-on products for the student edition found here: http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/companion.html?s_tid=ac_add_sv_bod. So I guess I'll have to disagree with Philip.

I believe we answered different questions. The MATLAB student edition can compile c or cpp source code into a mex binary that can called from MATLAB. This functionality ships with all copies of MATLAB.
The MATLAB compiler product and MATLAB Coder are not available for student MATLAB so MATLAB code cannot be compiled to standalone libraries or executables.
