Fees and funding

During your studies, you will first enrol at your Home University, the institution where you will spend your first and second semester. In the third semester, during the mobility window, you will also need to enrol at your partner university.

As a result, fees and mobility costs may differ for each student, depending on your chosen pathway. However, this should not discourage you from joining the programme. At NeurotechEU, we are committed to supporting your individual journey and will keep you informed about available funding opportunities.

Below, you will find some initial information to get started. For further details and the most up-to-date options, please visit Campus+ [www.nteucampus.org].
