Tuition fees
Fees for courses vary from course to course depending on subject, number of ECTS and the length of the course. Fees for individual courses can be found on the course pages. Fee waivers are available in some cases for students from VIA’s partner universities – see the individual course pages for more information. Only the tuition fee is included in the course fee and all other expenses such as travels, accommodation, meals, books and pocket money is at the student's own expense.
Cancellation
In case we cancel a course due to insufficient number of applicants all students registered for this course, will be given the opportunity to join another course. In case a student does not wish to join another course, we will reimburse the full amount paid for the course.
If a student cancels his/her participation in a course, we reimburse the course fee, if the cancellation happens at least six weeks before the course starts.
