University of Vic - UVIC-UCC Grants

Benefit

The amount of the discount depends on your degree programme and the number of credits you enrol for, up to a maximum of 60 ECTS credits. For most degree programmes, it amounts to approximately 15% to 19.5% of the tuition fees, which, for a full enrolment of 60 credits, corresponds to roughly 990 to 1,025 EUR. Students studying medicine and dentistry can receive around 2,025 EUR. The grant is deducted directly from your tuition fee invoice, so you will not receive any cash. The University and the Generalitat de Catalunya (the Regional Government of Catalonia) fund the programme with a total budget of 1,000,000 EUR. You can reapply for the grant every year that you are enrolled.
