Studying at ISS
Costs
Studying at the ISS is excellent value for money!
Tuition fees are low compared to those of similar institutes in Europe. In addition, the cost of living in this part of Europe is very reasonable, and with the subsidised housing provided by the ISS, you will find that studying here is much more affordable than it is in other places.
See for yourself. Take a look below at our study fees and make your own comparisons with other centres for research and education in the social sciences.
