Joint education programmes
Students enrolling for a course under the auspices of a Joint Education Programme (JEP) are charged tuition and additional costs on basis of the institutional agreement. For details, we refer you to your home institution.
Payment conditions
The tuition fee, living allowance and additional costs for the first academic are to be fully paid in advance. The tuition fee for the second academic year can be paid in two instalments (1 June and 1 January). Failure to pay the fee instalment by the stated deadline will be considered grounds for deregistration of the programme.
The living allowance for the second academic year (and beyond) must be indicated through a statement form provided by the IND and can be found here. Read detailed information on the page IND webpages Study.
Extension of study
If the individual study period has to be extended, additional payments must be made before the extension period begins.
