When will I hear if I have been selected to participate in the course?

We aim to finish our selection process around the 1st of June.

Does the course provide accommodation and meals?

Coffee, tea and biscuits are included in the course fee. Lunch is either provided or you will be given a 5 euro per day budget for lunch, mostly depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Although we cannot offer accommodation in Amsterdam, we do recommend that you stay in or near Amsterdam for the duration of the course, as the course days are long and intensive. We do usually have some offers for accommodation from friends of the Summer School so please contact us if you are on a tight budget. We can usually find a solution.

How much does the course cost?

The course fee is €600 for full participants, including lunch and tea and coffee facilities. For interns the course fee is €200. Interns are only able to participate in the group lessons, but can observe all lessons.

PS Always check the latest information, fees can vary each season

What if I have to cancel because of unforeseen circumstances?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide full refunds of the course fees, as we simply do not have the financial resources for this. However, we will refund 50% of the course fee if you cancel up to 1 month before the start of the course and 25% if you cancel up to 2 weeks before the start of the course. After that no refund is possible, but we are always willing to work with you to find a replacement participant who could take your place.
