Work/study program
The goal of the work/study program for foreign students is to help students experiencing financial hardship due to exceptional circumstances to continue their program of study. The program is open to foreign students enrolled full-time for the fall or winter term, and who are required to pay the extra tuition fees for foreign students.
Special rules apply for the summer term.
The wages earned by a student under the program in a given year may not exceed the extra tuition fees paid by that student in that year.
