- a request for reimbursement of the tuition fee paid less the social contribution regarding the study agreement
The Rector decides on the requests submitted based on a proposal by the HR Department and the Directorate-General for Economic Affairs. Following the decision, the HR Department will conclude a study agreement with the doctoral student. An application must be accompanied by the following annexes:
- a supporting statement from the head of department,

The Rector will decide on the conclusion of the study agreement within 15 days of receipt of the request, and the Doctoral School will be informed of the decision. The conclusion of study agreements lies in the responsibility of the HR Directorate.
The part of the amount paid by the student, which is taken over by the employer in the study agreement, will be reimbursed to the student subsequently, reduced by the tax and social contributions as set by the applicable legislation.
