* Although it’s possible for students to complete all of the requirements within one calendar year, the bulk of all students thus far have elected to register for only two courses in the summer, registering the internship or thesis in the following fall (2013) semester.

IMPORTANT for students with US federal loans: US Federal Code of Regulations does not permit American students registered at a foreign institution to qualify for federal loans during periods where the student intends to be physically present in the US. Thus, such students should not plan to conduct their internship or thesis in the US if they wish to maintain federal loan eligibility. In addition, students must be registered at least half-time and be making reasonable progress towards a degree in order to qualify for loans or a loan deferment. Therefore, students who request a thesis or Internship extension do NOT qualify for loans beyond the semester in which they are officially registered.

Please also bear in mind that tuition covers either three or four courses per semester. Students are considered part-time with a courseload of 11 credits or less. Part-time tuition for 2012-13 is 784 euros per credit and is determined on a per-credit basis.
