Master teaching style

This means that the lectures are taught in blocks, sometimes as short as 2 weeks
sometimes 3 weeks, and student learning is compressed. Typically, students study
only one course at a time and take the assessment at the end of each block.

The academic year is divided into 3 terms:
 Fall term: end of September / beginning of October 2018 - December 2018
    Exam session: one week in the first half of January 2019
 Winter Term: January 2019 – April 2019
    Exam session: one week in the second half of April 2019
 Spring term: April 2019 –June 2019
    Exam session: one week in the first half of July 2019

Tuitions and fees
a) Admission process fee: zero in 2017-2018.
b) Yearly tuition fees composed of:
      ordinary fee: variable amount depending of the student’s income level and
       potentially covered by scholarships and other kind of financial aid;
      additional fee: fixed amount, NOT covered by scholarships and other kind of
       financial aid.
Therefore, the additional tuition fee has to be paid also by those students who
have been granted scholarships from Edisu.
