Scholarship for Master's studies

As a non-EU/EEA citizen (Swiss citizens excluded) you are required to pay a tuition fee but you are also eligible to apply a scholarship. Possible scholarships depend on the year of your intake. Preliminary statements about anybody's possibility for getting a scholarship cannot be given as it all depends on the other applicants as well.
