Student financing for Master's students
Most NIT students in the Master's program in Technology Management pay the tuition fees themselves. Many students complete the Master's program part-time or alongside a doctorate and receive an individual grant from their employer.
Support from your employer
If you are planning to study at NIT alongside your career, we recommend that you talk to your employer about your plans. Many employers welcome further training of their employees and thus contribute new impulses and competences to the company. For this reason, numerous companies support their employees in financing further training.
Special funding programs: In addition, we would like to draw your attention to two funding programs:
- Master@IBM
This program addresses ambitious Bachelor’s graduates who want to start their career and qualify at the same time for leading and expert positions. - VDI nachrichten scholarship
The NIT and VDI nachrichten award a partial scholarship worth EUR 7,000 for the MBA program at the NIT.
Industrial scholarships for Double Master’s Students
Particularly outstanding applicants who are interested in the Double Master in Technology Management can apply for a scholarship. Some of the NIT’s partner companies offer industrial scholarships and, after an intensive selection process, pay the tuition fees for students studying for a double master's degree.
Application for a scholarship from renowned partner companies
These include, for example, Procter & Gamble, NXP or ArcelorMittal. If you would like to apply for one, please find out about the company's requirements.
A full scholarship covers all tuition fees for studying at NIT, including language courses. Administrative fees (TUHH semester enrolment fee + NIT administrative fee) are not included in the scholarship and have to be covered by the student (2x300€ per semester). Applications must be submitted directly to the NIT as part of the letter of motivation.
ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIP OPTIONS
