The price per credit is €209, and the minimum requirement to obtain a master's degree is 60 ECTS credits. The tuition fee for 60 ECTS credits is therefore €12,540. The price of the complete tuition fee depends on the number of credits enrolled by the student, as students will have to pay for all extra credits exceeding the required 60 ECTS.
Once you have been offered a place in the master's programme of your choice, you will be asked to confirm your attendance by paying a non-refundable deposit of €1,000, which will later be deducted from your tuition fees.
