Tuition Fee

  • 2012-2013 Full-Time Fees: €3500
  • 2012-2013 Part -Time Fees: €500 annual registration fee + €50 per Study Point (30 study points per year)

(1) Students that registered for PART TIME study in 2010-2011 (i.e. who paid € 1.740 for the first year, and expect to pay € 1.740 for the second year) pay €1.740 for 2011-2012. This is because the contract that was agreed to with these students allowed them to split the full-time fee over two years (i.e. fee of last year x 2).
(2) Students that registered for PART TIME study in 2011-2012 pay €2.000 PER YEAR (due to the €500 increase in the Registration Fee between 2010 and 2011).
(3) ALL OTHER STUDENTS pay €500 ANNUAL Registration Fee + €50 per Study Point/ECTS. This means that students that paid € 3.000 in 2010-2011 for full time study, but failed, will in 2011-2012 pay €500 Registration Fee + €50 x the number of Study Points they still need to take.
