TUITION FEE AND SCHOLARSHIPS

The admission fee for the MSc programme is 8000 € (Euro), which has to be paid by all students. However, scholarships will be made available.

A number of scholarships for third-country students, currently of 21000 € (Euro), are available within the 1st application call. These Erasmus Mundus scholarships are directly sponsored by the European Commission, under the scope of Erasmus Mundus Programme, and are available to third-country applicants only.

Also, a number of scholarships (Consortium Scholarships) are planned for students from any geographical origin. These scholarships are financed by the MSc Consortium itself and are open to students of any nationality. However, non-third-country nationals will have a higher chance of being selected. These Consortium Scholarships are divided as follows:

- Three to four scholarships of 14000 € (Euro);

- Five scholarships of 6400 € (Euro);

- Ten scholarships of 4000 € (Euro);

In addition to Consortium Scholarships, European Union students are eligible for a possible LLP/Erasmus mobility grant.

Any selected applicant must bear in mind that, if selected to a scholarship, the confirmation of acceptance of the scholarship by the student implies automatically that other interested applicants will not receive a scholarship, as the number of applicants is larger than the number of grants.

Therefore, the MSc Consortium will request to all students selected for a scholarship the payment of a non-reimbursable deposit (100 Euro for non-European students and 250 Euro for European students) to confirm their acceptance of the scholarship and enrolment in the Master Course. This deposit will be deduced to the tuition fee, once the course starts.

The only purpose of this measure is to avoid filling up the MSc places with students that will not finally participate and that will compromise the enrolment of other interested students.

Third-country nationals are nationals coming from all countries other than the 27 EU Member States, the EEA-EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and the candidate countries for accession to the EU (presently Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey), who are not residents of any of the above countries, and who have not carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the above countries.
