Tuition fee
The postgraduate programme in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in engineering is largely financed by the participating companies. For this reason, you do not pay an increased tuition fee. As a result, the number of places in the postgraduate programme is limited. The tuition fee is the same at all universities and amounts to:
- EUR 979,60 for the full track of 60 ECTS (in academic year 2022 - 2023).
- EUR 604,50 for the short track (Foundations) of 29 ECTS (in academic year 2022-2023)
Non-EEA students (without Flemish degree) need to apply in advance.
You are entitled to child benefit if you enrol for at least 27 credits (and if you fulfil all the other legal conditions). You are not entitled to a grant for a postgraduate programme.
This amount may be different for students with an adapted programme (combination with a Master’s, students who enrol in February, etc.). To find out the exact amount of your tuition fees, please get in touch with the coordinator of the postgraduate programme of the university where you enrolled.
