Admission deposit

The admission deposit only applies?only to international applicants who have a?non-EU citizenship. Upon acceptance of a study place at ISM, the applicant has to pay an admission deposit of 3,000 Euro.

This deposit will be deducted in full from the tuition fees of the first semester?(so the applicant will only pay the remaining 2700 Euro for that semester).

If the contract is not signed, we retain a processing fee of 500 Euro and the rest will be reimbursed.? The admission deposit fee will be refunded in the event that the applicant proves that his/her visa application for an ISM study program has been definitely rejected.

If you fulfill the admission requirements at ISM, you will receive an offer/acceptance letter from us. Please sign this letter and - if you are an international student (non-EU) - pay the deposit to our university's bank account through Flywire. The deposit will be mentioned in the acceptance letter and will be deducted from your first semester tuition fee.?

After you have paid the deposit, you will receive the letter of admission from the ISM and your tuition contract documents. You will need both for your visa application at the German embassy.
