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 alongside a job or 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, who then offer new insights and competencies to the company. For this reason, numerous companies support their employees in financing further training.
