Tuition and Financing
Tuition for 1st and 2nd academic years is €30,000 per academic year.
The admitted applicants must pay a deposit of €600 to secure a place in the program. This amount will be deducted from the tuition fee to be paid. If an admitted applicant must defer admission for a year, the deposit money will be put towards securing a place in the next incoming class, or returned to the student, depending on the reasons for the deferral.
Note on medical insurance
Tuition fees include medical insurance, which is not refundable. Enrollment in the health plan commences the day classes begin. Spouses may be included in the plan for a nominal additional fee. The plan does not cover prescription drugs and medicines, or visits to the dentist.
