4. The 700-Euro total registration fee amount indicated in the table above is based on a program duration of 7 semesters (3.5 years), which is the minimum when no there is no credit transfer. In the case where students complete the program over a shorter or longer period of time, the total amount for registration fees will vary accordingly.
5. The Student Association fee is only due during the semesters when the student is attending the program in Paris.
6. The tuition and fees indicated in the table above are valid for all courses taken during the current academic year. Tuition and fees are subject to a raise comprised between 1% and 5% in the Fall every year. Therefore, the total amount for the program may vary based on that raise.
