Registration Fee & Tuition Information:
Funding and financial support: The administration of the MSc Medical Sciences – Cardiovascular Research will cover the tuition fees for international students from outside the European Union as well as the fees for students studying a second degree. Thus the enrollment fee is the only fee that needs to be covered by the students themselves. The university will offer stipends for enrolled students of the MSc to support housing and living costs and allow students to fully focus on the program.
