The registration fee for the overall Joint Masters programme is 7,500 EUR. For participants of single modules, a registration fee of 1,500 EUR per module will be charged.

The partner institutions are able to offer a limited number of partial scholarships which will wave a part of the tuition fee that shall be paid by the successful applicants.
