The fee is a deposit which only will be reimbursed to applicants who are admitted to the programme. If you are not admitted to the programme, the fee will not be reimbursed.

The Graduate Admission Application Fee costs 150 EURO 
The fee is 150 EURO per applicant, per admission year. 

You must pay by 15 January
If you do not pay, or you do not upload documentation showing that you are exempt from payment, by the 15 January deadline, your application will not be processed.
