Calendar
First MAS Course: 1 March - 27 November 2010;Students can also begin on 7 June or 6 September 2010, with a three month gap from the end of November to the beginning of March.
In later years the program will take place from March - November.
Deadline
Applications are processed continuously. Qualified applicants are admitted as long as space remains. Those who require a visa should apply at least 3 months in advance, to allow sufficient time for their visa applications to be processed.Fees
CHF 15'000 course fees for the MAS program, including thesis supervision.
Student rooms and meals are to be taken care of and paid for by the student and are NOT included (see below for typical prices).
A down payment of CHF 5000 is required before the letter of admission is sent to you. Two additional payments of CHF 5000 each are due in three month intervals.
It is also possible to pay the full amount at once.
We reserve the right to keep admitting other applicants who pay earlier than those who may have registered but for any reason have not yet paid their fees. In other words, if you have been accepted by us, your enrollment is NOT guaranteed until you have paid the fees.
Scholarships
In 2010 a number of scholarships granting a 50% reduction in tuition will be awarded. Since there are usually many more applications for these scholarships than we can accept, those who can pay the full amount have a considerably greater chance of being admitted.
Applications for scholarships must be received at least 6 months before the intended starting trimester.
We reserve the right to keep admitting other applicants who pay earlier than those who may have registered but for any reason have not yet paid their remaining 7500 CHF tuition fees. In other words, if you have been accepted by us, your enrollment is NOT guaranteed until you have paid these fees.
