Student grants
Public grants, primarily based on academic merit, are available only to full-time students studying on state-
subsidised study places. Recently, more need-based criteria are taken into account. Disabled or orphaned
students with families, from large families or in economic need are treated favourably. The amounts are
EUR 99.60/month (per 10 months) for the first and second cycle. Approximately 13 % of 1st cycle students, 8 % of
2nd cycle students and 8 % of short-cycle students studying receive this funding support. Loans
Two types of loans exist, the first to cover tuition costs and the second, capped at EUR 170.74/month to cover
living costs. Repayment needs to start 11 months after the end of the degree programme. In 2015/16, 12 % of fee-
paying students benefited from loans, and this percentage is in decline since 2009. The state covers loans for
students studying in fields considered significant for national economic development.
