Discounts
You can enjoy two types of discounts:
- Early-bird discount:
- Who can benefit? Students who complete their application within the early-bird discount period (until February 28). Applications are complete when the application form is submitted, and we receive all required documents. Please refer to the application website for details.
- How much is the discount? 200 euros if you enroll in two courses and 150 euros if you enroll in only one course.
- Partner discount:
- Who can benefit?
- a) Students from any university that actively promotes SpaCIE summer schools to its students. If you wish to benefit from this discount, please send us the link to the website where your university presents information about our summer schools, a screenshot if it is a private website, or ask your International Relations Office to inform us of the promotion or credit transfer approval.
- b) Students from any institution that enters into a partnership agreement with SpaCIE.
- How much is the discount? 200 euros if you enroll in two courses and 150 euros if you enroll in only one course.
You can accumulate both discounts, if applicable. Therefore, you can enjoy up to 400 euros discount if you enroll in two courses and 300 euros if you enroll in only one course.
Table of costs
Please refer to the table below for summer school fees.
Admitted applicants must complete their enrollment by paying these costs by the deadline of:
- 28 days from admission (when we send you the admission confirmation email) if you completed your application during the early-bird discount period.
- 14 days from admission if you completed your application during the ordinary period.

Refund policy: You will ONLY be entitled to a refund of these costs if SpaCIE cancels the Program. Our summer schools are face-to-face, but in case of force majeure preventing you from attending the program, and since you would not be entitled to a refund, we will do our best to enable you to follow the program remotely.
