You pay your fee in a lump sum when you start your pre-master’s program. Refunds are not possible.
Halfway through the year, any exemptions or additional courses will be settled. Upon completion of your pre-master’s program, you will enroll on a master’s program and pay and you pay the applicable rate depending on your situation.
