Please note:

  • The number of scholarships available is equal to the number of students admitted to the Dual Degree through a selection procedure.
  • If you have not passed all courses during your first year at WU Vienna you forego your right to a scholarship covering the statutory rate from Tilburg University. If you are a non-EEA student, this means you will have to pay the institutional rate and will therefore not receive a waiver to the statutory rate.
  • You will only receive a Tilburg University scholarship (and a waiver if you are a non-EEA student) during the second year of the Double Degree program at Tilburg University. In case of a study delay at Tilburg University you will start paying regular tuition fees for the continuation of your studies outside of the nominal study duration of the program.
  • Tuition fee payments are non-refundable if you leave the program before graduation.

Other expenses

Besides tuition, there are other costs that you must take into account as a student and in which the scholarship does not provide compensation, such as:

  • Travel costs, the cost of applying for a visa or residence permit, the cost of living, books and supplies, as well as the health insurance required for the duration of your stay in the host institution.
  • Membership in the Austrian National Union of Students (0H) (currently €20.7O per semester; subject to annual adjustments).

You can check the general scholarship page to see if there are additional scholarships that apply to your specific situation.
