Extension of study after the nominal study period
All non-EEA students who pay the Institutional fee 3 and who need an extension of enrolment after their nominal study period, can make use of the scheme that stipulates that during the first 3 months of their extension the tuition fee rate is equal to the statutory rate.
This means for bachelor students that this discount applies in the 37th, 38th and 39th month of their registration. This is automatically processed in the invoice.
