Financial Support

All EU and Non-EU students are eligible for an Erasmus Mobility Grant for parts of their studies. The grant payment is around € 450,- to € 540,- per month. This applies to: the second (Turku) and third semester (Tilburg) of the IMMIT program. This grant is a contribution to travel and subsistence costs for the months in the second and third semester. The program will assist you in obtaining this grant.

Previous IMMIT students have received generous internship allowances (up to € 1000,- per month) during the fourth semester of the IMMIT program, which were provided by companies like Shell, Philips, Deloitte, Accenture, PWC, etc. 
Some students have also obtained Erasmus Internship Grants for the fourth semester. Total duration of Erasmus grants received on master’s study level at earlier points of studying must be taken into account for this.

There are various other scholarships available for either EU/EEA-students or non EU/EEA-students:

      • Information related to specific scholarships in France is found here.
      • Information related to specific scholarships in The Netherlands and Tilburg University is found here. In some cases students are also eligible for Dutch DUO Student Finance. If eligible, DUO can be obtained even for the time spent outside the Netherlands.

Housing

In all our cities we offer affordable housing, according to local market standards, for all our students.

CROUS is a dormitory that houses mostly international students, and for French students with a CROUS scholarship. Prices will be around €1300 for the full semester (Sep-Dec). For more information and pictures click here. For the steps that need to be followed to apply click here.

Turku: Student Village Foundation (TYS)
Most of the international students in Turku get an apartment through TYS. All their housing locations are either within walking distance from the campus or easily reachable by public transport. You should apply for an apartment 3 months prior to the start of the lease period. So if you arrive in January you should apply at the beginning of October. You will receive an offer from TYS somewhen in November. For more information and pictures click here. For the steps that need to be followed to apply click here.

Tilburg: Student rooms via WonenBreburg
International students will receive an offer from the university’s housing office and housing association WonenBreburg. WonenBreburg has studios suited for two people, and would cost around €970 per month, excluding housing allowance. The studios have a large living room, kitchen, one bedroom, bathroom and a balcony. The rent must be paid for the full rental duration at the point of digital contract signing. The contracts for this housing are for 6 or 12 months. You should apply for a studio in the beginning of June prior to the academic year in Tilburg. For the steps that need to be followed to apply click here.

Dutch students are directly supported in finding accommodation in Tilburg by the university’s housing office.

Private market
Some students can’t always apply for the aforementioned housing options or turn down the offer because they prefer to live somewhere else. This is possible in all three cities, but not common. These students will have to find a place on the private market. Previously, this was found through Facebook groups, Airbnb, friends, fellow students and family.

Mobility

Aix-en-Provence

The daily commute to the IAE Aix university campus in Puyricard can be done with either public transport (50 min) or commonly and conveniently by car if students have a car available (15 min). For students with access to a car, the mobility region in France together with Aix-Marseille university strongly subsidizes carpooling through the Karos app. Previous cohorts have managed to cover the majority of car-related costs by regularly using Karos. More information can be found here. Parking is for free both on campus as well as in most streets in Aix-en-Provence village.

Turku

Depending on the housing location, the trip from accommodation to university campus can frequently be done by foot in Turku (15 minutes). Bus service within Turku is provided by Föli if needed (e.g. from Iltakajo location to campus). At the beginning of Spring, around April, Föli also places sharing-bicycles at multiple locations in the city with a monthly subscription available for around € 10. While not regularly needed, more options for mobility in Turku include very affordable sharable e-Scooters and the sharing-cars located in the student village. More info here.

For longer trips outside Turku, Finland has both a very well working train network operated by VR as well as a well-connected overland bus network. VR offers holders of a valid Finnish student identity card discounts on train journeys. The bus network coordinator Matkahuolto also offers some discounts for students with a valid card. To be considered valid by an operator, a student card must often contain a transport network operator’s logo. Options for these cards are e.g. the Tuudo or Frank apps.

Tilburg

In Tilburg the most commonly used from of transport is cycling. The city and region provide excellent bicycle infrastructure. Bicycles can either be brought, bought (commonly second hand) or rented from service providers like Swapfiets or Unibike. The Swapfiets pick-up location is by the main train station, while the Unibike location is right on campus. More information will be available during the registration days at Tilburg University. Second-hand bicycles are usually available for around € 50-100. A subscription for the bike-as-a-service providers costs around € 20-25 per month. Make sure to always properly lock your bike and take good care of your bike-key! If your bicycle has been towed, you can find info for how to proceed here. Also make sure to familiarise yourself with relevant Dutch cycling rules to avoid unwanted fines.

For travelling further distances in the Netherlands, a car or especially trains operated by NS are generally the most convenient mode of transport. Trains and other public transport can easily be used on a pay-per-trip basis with an OV-Chipcard. Having a low-cost NS train discount subscription on your OV-Chipkaart pays off already at few trips per month. Keep in mind that a personal OV-Chipcard is required for a NS subscription and that it will take a few days until you receive your personal card after ordering.

When traveling as a group, Off-peak Group Tickets allow for significant discounts on the selected route for the time when the ticket is valid. Alternatively, a NS subscription holder can also extend a Co-travel discount to fellow travellers without a chipkaart to save a bit.
