COST AND AIDS
FEES FOR ENTRY IN MASI25
The tuition fee for the MASI programme is €10,000.
Payment Procedure
Commitment Fee: If you are offered a place on the Master in Aircraft Systems Integration you will be asked to pay a commitment fee (not refundable but applicable to tuition) of €1,000 about 7-days after the offer.
The remaining balance of €9,000 may be paid in full at enrollment or in two equal installments of €4,500, due on September 15th and January 15th.
Failure to pay tuition entails the rejection or cancellation of a students enrollment according to the terms established by the University.
Because of legal requirements, the expedition of degree diplomas and certificates is conditional upon the payments of all monies owed to the University.
Most students on the programme are self-financing, but about 50% are sponsored by their employers. Many companies recognise the benefits of an employee attending the MASI programme. One example is the Master´s Final Project, for which many MASI students carry out research and analysis into a particular area of interest to their sponsoring company.
Another important factor to obtain the employer’s full support is the reduction in social security contributions (Royal Decree 395/2007 on Professional Employment training), and the credit provided by some public institutions (namely Fundación Estatal para la Formación en el Empleo in Spain) for granting workers individual leaves of absence for training. More information can be found by contacting the Human Resources Department of your company or in Fundación Estatal para la formación en el Empleo.
