| Living costsAccommodation, food, transport — a working estimate | $11,000 |
| Student visaGovernment fee, one-off | $150 |

About this figure: Non-EU fee is €7,000 in year 1 and €2,800 in year 2 (2026/27). Each year's fee is paid in full immediately after enrolment — no instalments for non-EU students. Taught in English, evening classes, 35 places.
Not in the table above: Consular fee ~€90 + visa-centre service charge at the counter (~$129 real counter cost). Post-arrival: residence permit fee ~€155. Budget for document translation/authentication. Health insurance is MANDATORY (repatriation cover required), not optional — the $400/yr figure is mid-range.

After you graduate
