Fees

Following the recommendations from the Agency, the tuition fee for EU students holding EM scholarships is 2000 EUR/ semester. For non-EU students holding EM scholarships the tuition fee is 4000 EUR / semester.

For students without the EM scholarship, the tuition fees will be 1000 EUR/ semester for non-EU students and 650 EUR/ semester for EU students.

The tuition fees have been calculated on the basis of the current academic and administrative costs for the two-year Course. The tuition fee will be subtracted from the individual EM scholarship. The student will receive his/her EM scholarship, with the tuition fee deducted, on a monthly basis. Students without the EM scholarship should pay the fees at the beginning of each semester.

Costs

Students are expected to finance their living, accommodation and travel costs themselves. The participating universities have services for foreign students that can provide assistance in arranging accommodation and other practical arrangements.

Students without EM scholarship are advised to arrange valid insurance in their home countries before starting the SpaceMaster Course.
