Financial Information
Tuition Fees
There ARE NO tuition fees for PhD studies in
Computer Engineering.
Living Expenses (estimated from 2003-2004)
The
cost of living and study, including food, housing, transport, books,
obligatory health insurance (45 euros), social life, study trips etc., is
estimated at euro 850
per month. In addition, students will need approximately euro 1,000 to cover initial settling-in
expenses.
VISA & Insurance
Visa
Non-Dutch
nationals need a visa
to enter the Netherlands, with the exception of nationals of European
Union member states and Iceland, Monaco, Norway, Switzerland,
Liechtenstein, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan. As the visa
procedure for individuals is complicated and can take up to eight months, TU
Delft offers to obtain visas for graduate students under the so-called
‘accelerated’ procedure.
Health and liability insurance
Having
a health and liability insurance is obligatory in the Netherlands. This kind
of insurance will cover almost all medical treatment but it will not cover
the costs of treatment for already existing diseases, which could have been
treated in your home country before coming to the Netherlands, nor the costs
of hospital treatment if there are medical grounds for postponing the
treatment until you return to your country of origin. The insurance does not
cover pregnancy care if the pregnancy started before arrival in the
Netherlands. The
monthly insurance premium is approximately euro 45.
Work
Students
are permitted to work part-time during their study. Income from part-time
work should therefore be additional. In other words we advise that you should
be able to finance your study without working.
EU
and EFTA students do not need a work permit and can work full time.
Non-EU/EFTA
students are permitted to work a maximum of 10 hours per week or 3 months
full-time during the summer holiday period in June, July and August. A work
permit, applied for by the employer, is obligatory.
