Payment
You pay your compensation in one go, or by staggered payments. If you pay in staggered payments, the payments will continue until the full amount has been paid.
Payment
It is only possible to choose the amount of the 60 EC programme in Studielink. The fee will be revised to the actual number of EC as soon as the Faculty issued the Statement Admission Pre-Master programme (VTP).
No reimbursement
You are not entitled to reimbursement if you deregister during the academic year, unless you have filed a request for deregistration via Studielink in the first three months of your enrollment.
Reimbursement
The amount is depending on the number of months you were enrolled at the University of Groningen.
