• Each waiver covers 80% of the tuition fee of a module. Module fees range from €585 to €1,800, so waivers range from €468 to €1,440.

Evaluation

The Study Programme Committee and the talent scouting team evaluate each module application separately within 10 working days of the deadline. Points depend on the curriculum area: 3 for the mandatory Artificial Intelligence area, 2 for Systems and Networks, Automatics and Robotics or Processes and Data Management, and 1 for free electives. Ties are resolved by giving priority to women and gender minorities, applicants with disabilities and applicants with caregiving duties, and then by random draw. Remaining eligible applications go on a reserve list.
