Questions in regard to regulations and tuition fees (with the exception of the Project Fund which is entirely run by the DAI itself) can only be taken on board by parent institution ArtEZ University of the Arts, more particularly the Student Affairs department. You are however welcome to share your questions about the protocols in place at ArtEZ with the DAI's Care Team - we might be able to offer at least some assistance while navigating the rules and regulations around tuition fees, registration, visa or otherwise.
