*Down Payment
The Down Payment of CHF 3,350 is non-refundable, is additional to the fees and is to be paid for each of the 20 week academic semesters for Certificate, Diploma, Higher Diploma, Bachelor Degree, Postgraduate Diploma, Masters and MBA programmes. The school will, at it’s discretion, charge to this account payments made for such things as: health insurance (which is compulsory in Switzerland); insurance in the school; use of textbooks and eBooks (an iPad mini with eBooks replaces textbooks for all courses) and class materials; registration fee; permit and visa fees (in Switzerland); minor breakages of crockery; contributions to school excursions; and Value Added Tax. The Down Payment does not cover negligent or wilful breakages or loss of school property, which will be charged at replacement cost.
The Down Payment does not include health insurance during work placement in Switzerland, which is required by Swiss law. HTMi reserves the right to collect this from students prior to work placement. Students may apply to HTMi to pay this from work placement wages (approval at the discretion of HTMi).
Accommodation
The standard room rate of CHF2,500 for 20 weeks is for a shared room with wash basin and nearby shared bathroom. HTMi reserves the right to allocate this room type to each student, or students may apply to be upgraded on a “first come, first served” basis and subject to availability.
