TUITION FEES
The tuition fee is €5,000.00 to be paid in two equal instalments:
- First instalment: € 2,000.00+ € 50,00 by the deadline for enrolment, which will be communicated by UNICAMILLUS together with the notification of admission to the CPD course;
- Second instalment: EUR 3,000.00 by 26th June 2026.
Failure to make payment within the deadlines indicated by UniCamillus in the admission communication will result in loss of the candidate’s place in the ranking list, and the list will be scrolled until all available places have been filled.
RIGHT TO RECONSIDER – Within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of payment, students may exercise the right to reconsider. As a consequence, students unilaterally waive from their enrolment by explicitly communicating to UniCamillus their willing to waive. This request should be sent by certified email to [email protected]
In case of exercising this right to reconsider, UniCamillus will proceed to refund the paid amount within the following 14 (fourteen) days – withholding an amount of 5% of the paid sum for secretarial services – using the same means of payment previously employed by the User, unless expressly indicating a different means of payment.
Except for mandatory cases, expressly stated in this announcement, no refund will be made under any circumstances.
RIGHT TO WAIVE STUDIES – By exercising the right of abandonment or waiver of studies, students will no longer have access to any educational activity and/or qualification to use the tools UniCamillus puts at their disposal. Students wishing to waive must submit a waiver application using an online procedure. They must access the student portal (GOMP) with their credentials, visiting the “ careers> applications> study waiver application” section.
In case of waiver, the amounts paid until the moment of presentation of the waiver request will not be reimbursed under any circumstances. Students who waive or abandon their studies after the beginning of classes are required to pay the whole amount of fees.
Activation of the Second Level Master Program is conditional on reaching a minimum number of 15 enrolments. In the event that the Second Level Master Program does not start due to failure to reach the minimum number, the University will refund the entire fee paid, without withholding anything by way of penalty.
