Invest in your education now and contribute back once you land that well-paying job
To make education accessible regardless of background or financial situation, kood/Jõhvi does not require any tuition fees to start the programme. However, to sustain the school and keep the programme running, each student signs an Income Sharing Agreement to contribute back to the school and community once they secure a well-paying job.
The Income Sharing Agreement includes an obligation to pay an Income Sharing Fee once the student’s or alumni’s annual monthly income exceeds a pre-determined minimum income threshold (1.3 times the annual average gross monthly salary in Estonia). The Income Sharing Fee can be paid in installments or in full at any time.
The total cost of the programme is €4000.
