Graduating students' fees

If you intend to graduate by 31 March 2026 (last graduation session of the 2024/25 academic year), you are not required to enrol for the 2025/26 academic year (outside the course of the old system or beyond the normal duration of the new system) and pay the corresponding student contribution.

If, after graduation, you intend to pursue a career, please note that:

  (or any earlier deadline set by the relevant teaching structures), you may enrol for a Master's degree in the academic year 2025/26 by 10 March 2026

If you are unable to graduate by 31 March 2026, you can enrol late for the 2025/26 academic year (outside the course of the old system/beyond the normal duration of the new system) by paying, again by that date:
