It states that Non-EU students must 'pay at least the first semester's tuition and any applicable fees in advance', that the exact required advance payment is set out in the 'Financial Information attachment provided together with the student's Letter of Acceptance', and that for later semesters students may follow a payment plan in instalments subject to the EUR 1,500 initial registration deposit. Tuition and fees are calculated and charged at the beginning of each semester (Fall and Spring). A late-payment charge of 4% per year applies to overdue instalments, and students with unpaid balances cannot receive grades, transcripts, certificates or re-enrol. No fixed percentage split (e.g. 50% on permit) is published. |
Requirements, fees and deadlines shown here are the ones our counsellors work from, but the university can change them at any intake. We confirm the live figures with the institution before an application is filed, so treat this page as the starting point rather than the final word.
