Tuition fees at ITM
Tuition fees consist of a registration fee and a credit fee.
The registration fee is due only once per course, master's programme or academic year. A student enrolling in multiple courses within the same academic year needs to pay the registration fee only once.
The credit fee (or fee per credit) is calculated based on the amount of credits the student takes.
For master's programmes, the full tuition fee (registration and credit fees) is due at the time of enrollment. If a programme is spread over multiple years, students are encouraged to pay the fees upfront. However, a payment plan with instalments can be agreed upon if necessary. Please contact ITM's Student Support Office for assistance.
If the number of credits changes during a programme, the tuition fees will be adjusted or reimbursed accordingly.
Tuition fees differ for European Economic Area* (EEA) and non-EEA students, in line with European practices. The registration process for non-EEA students involves higher costs, particularly if the student requires a residency permit instead of a tourist visa. The mobility of students within the EU and reciprocity among EU member states justifies the harmonisation of credit fees for EEA students at levels consistent with those commonly charged in Belgium and across the EU.
*Swiss and UK citizens will be treated as EEA students.
Principles of ITM tuition fees
A distinction is made between the registration fee and the credit fee, ensuring that tuition fees reflect the number of credits in a student's study plan.
Fee levels are standardised across all courses and programmes to maintain consistency.
Tuition fees are benchmarked to ensure they align with appropriate market levels, both within the EU and internationally.
Fees are adjusted for collaborative courses to support partnerships with other higher education institutions.
