Tuition Fees and Living Expenses
Tuition fee
The tuition fee to register and start as a student within the IMRD programme (after being deemed academicaly fit) is different for European and non-European students.
IMRD considers as European students:
2. students who are nationals from one of the EEA-EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway)
IMRD considers as non-European students:
All other students are non-European students (also called Third Country students), including applicant students from Switzerland, Turkey and the Western Balkans region (i.e. Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, FYRoM, Montenegro and Serbia).
REMARK: Please note that the qualifications for being considered European or non-European are different for students with an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
In concreto this means that students who first applied for an EM scholarship though not were awarded such a scholarship and still decide to register as a self-sponsering student, will have to pay the tuition fee amount according to the above mentioned nationality qualifications.
Tuition Fee for Non-European students
The yearly subscription fee for 2013-2015 amounts to 8.000 EUR per year. This covers the tuition fees, and all other programme related costs, including the costs for insurance coverage and the administrative costs of the programme (registration, enrolment, subscription, administrative support, access to all faculty and university services, the organisation of the case study, the thesis defence, and other expenditures directly linked to the organisation of the course).
Some additional costs may be charged (up to a maximum of 2.000 euro) for specific transportation arrangements related to the organisation of case studies, internschips or thesis defence.
All IMRD students are expected to finance costs related to visa and preparatory documents, accommodation, additional insurances, living cost and travel costs themselves. However, all IMRD partner institutes have services for foreign students that can provide assistance in visa, accommodation, insurances and other living arrangements.
