Tuition fees and scholarships

The Student Agreement (pdf) describes the responsibilities of Laurea and the tuition fee paying Student. The student confirms the acceptance of the agreement by paying the tuition fee. After payment, the agreement is valid from the date of the student accepting the study place offered.

All non-EU/EEA area applicants who have not provided a document for exemption and who have been selected for admission will receive in an email notification of admission and instructions for paying the Laurea tuition fee.

The admission of a tuition fee liable student is conditional until the student’s eligibility to apply has been checked by Laurea Admissions, the student has confirmed their study place and paid the tuition fee for the first academic year.

The tuition fee is charged when the student is registered as present for the academic semester. The academic year is divided into two semesters. The autumn semester is 1st August -31st December and the spring semester is 1st January – 31st July.

First year students and transfer students must pay the whole year tuition fee by the deadline for accepting the study place. In subsequent years of study, the student can pay the tuition fee in semester-wise parts. Half of the tuition fee must be paid before the beginning of the autumn semester. Payment for the autumn semester must be completed by 31st July. The other half must be paid before the beginning of the spring semester. Payment for the spring semester must be completed before 31st December.

Students who have paid the tuition fee can be registered as present for the academic year. Students must register themselves as present or absent each academic year in compliance with the regulations set by Laurea. For tuition fee paying students the registration as present for the academic year is valid after payment of the tuition fee for the said academic year has been made unless a valid document for exemption is provided. Failure to register for the academic year results in loss of study entitlement at Laurea. In circumstances that you lose your study entitlement at Laurea, you have possibility to apply for restoring study entitlement (50 EUR processing fee).

We reserve the right to make changes.
