The final fee of €5,000 is conditional and applies only if the applicant is granted a scholarship of up to 75%. This means that if the scholarship granted to the applicant is less than 75%, the final fee will be adjusted accordingly, and the applicant will pay a higher total programme fee.

Furthermore, the percentage of scholarship granted to an applicant depends on the strength of their application and the quality of the personal statement they submitted. The admissions committee will evaluate the application and assess its merits based on several factors, such as academic achievements, relevant work experience, leadership potential, and the quality of the applicant’s personal statement.

If the application is particularly strong and demonstrates exceptional potential, the committee may consider granting a scholarship of up to 75%, which would result in a lower final fee for the applicant. On the other hand, if the application is weak or lacks the necessary qualities, the scholarship granted may be less than 75% or even none at all, which would result in a higher final fee for the applicant.

In summary, the final fee of €5,000 is not a fixed amount but varies based on the percentage of scholarship granted, which in turn depends on the strength of the applicant’s application and personal statement.
