Do I have to pay tuition fees?

ottobre 23, 2012 in FAQ, MOBILITY

No, DUNIA BEAM students may not be asked to pay any participation/tuition/registration fees at the host universities.

In order to avoid double imposition of fees, in those cases where the hosting HEI requires the payment of the registration/tuition fees the students must not be charged the same feesby the HEIs of origin.

The payment of tuition fees at the home universities depends on the duration of mobility.

If the duration of the planned mobility is inferior to 10 months, students will continue to pay their registration/tuition fees at the home institution.

In case the planned mobility lasts 10 months or longer, the students must not be charged tuition fees by the home universities (applicable for TG1 scholars).
