List prices before scholarships and the early enrolment bonus; other Master's programmes have their own rates, so check the programme page. Tuition fees come on top of the proof of funds. For the student visa you still need to show 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account, and that money has to be transferred months before the semester starts.
