Curriculum for the Licence

There is no set fee for a semester or for the entire year. Payment is by semester according to the number of credits (ECTS) of the courses taken by the student.

1 ECTS = Euro 65.00 Euros (60 + 5 for “academic resource fee”)

For example:

1 course of 3 ECTS = 195 Euro (this includes the exam).
1 course of 5 ECTS = 325 Euro (this includes the exam).
The semester tuition for a student taking 30 ECTS is 1950 Euro [30 x 65].

Contribution for Digital Resources

In order to offer its students the necessary digital resources for their studies and, above all, for their future roles as teachers and/or researchers, the Institute has made a deal with Verbum (the Catholic ‘section’ of the Logos platform). As based on this agreement, the student can receive a "package" containing critical editions of the biblical texts, indispensable dictionaries, the main extrabiblical texts (targumim, Qumran,...) and about 200 commentaries chosen by the PBI professors. The value for the hardcopy/paper versions of these resources would total around 8000 Euros. Thanks to the support of the Gregorian University Foundation, the PBI is able to offer this ‘package’ to each student, asking for a contribution of 5 Euros for each ECTS.

N.B.: This contribution of 5 Euros also applies to ECTS received from courses taken at other institutions (Ex. Hebrew University or École Biblique) which are applied for credit to the SSL curriculum and for Greek/Hebrew I-IV courses if the student take the qualifying examination.

Payment must be made at the time of registration at the beginning of the semester, i.e., in October and February (see the Academic Calendar for the exact times in any given year).
The fee for an examination without credits (e.g., qualifying exam, modern language exam), is 60 Euro.

For the Doctorate

The cost of the entire Doctoral program is approximately € 18,000. The candidate is asked to contribute at least:

For the Preparatory Year	€ 2.260
For the reservation of the dissertation topic	€ 1.100
For each subsequent year during the elaboration of the dissertation	€ 1100
For the defence of the dissertation	€ 2310

The Institute makes up the rest, thanks to donations from benefactors.
During the period of work on the doctorate the candidate may be asked to serve as an assistant, depending on the judgment of the dissertation director and the availability of the candidate.

Diplomas

Licence and Doctorate € 95

Financial Aid

The Institute does not have funds for granting scholarships. But thanks to contributions from benefactors, it can grant a reduction in academic fees to students who are able to show special financial need.
