Tuition Fee
The tuition fee you pay for an academic year depends on the type of study contract, the number of credits for which you are enrolled and your possible entitlement to a study grant from the Flemish Government.
The school fee is the same for non-EU students as it is for the EU students. The study fees are always the same for premaster year and master year.

The school does not provide any scholarships itself, but the school has financial aid programs. The financial aid is towards costs by mandatory school field trips, laptop purchases, material costs, transport (train, bus, bike), international travels (for internships, exchange programmes, mandatory school field trips), accommodation (rent). They also have interest free study loans to cover the school fee.
All students who wish to apply for this, student aid will be assessed individually based on the requested documents. You can only apply for this once you start your studies as they ask you also for your rental contract. NOTE! it is not 100% certain you will receive this aid.
