Key information for prospective and enrolled students of the European School of Data Science & Technology (ESDST).
These terms apply as soon as you make any payment toward your programme fees. If your programme includes additional services, such as accommodation or other third-party services, those services may be subject to separate terms and conditions.
Fees are payable as outlined in your admission offer, including any agreed instalment schedule. Your first payment must be made before your programme start date.
Late payments may incur a late-payment fee in accordance with the applicable fee policy or student contract.
No additional tuition fees will apply during your programme beyond those agreed, unless you are notified in advance of any applicable changes.
Please read your admission offer together with these terms and conditions, the relevant programme information, the Student Contract, and the policies available on our website before accepting your offer.
Once you accept your offer and enrol, you are expected to engage responsibly and respectfully as a member of the ESDST academic community.
Each application is reviewed on its individual merits, and ESDST is not obliged to provide reasons for individual admission decisions.
Entry requirements may change over time, and admission offers may be subject to academic, documentary, financial, English-language, or other specified conditions.
Where required by law, regulation, programme requirements, or institutional policy, applicants may also be asked to provide additional declarations or documentation as part of the admissions process.
ESDST may make reasonable changes to a programme where necessary to maintain academic quality, respond to developments within the discipline, meet regulatory or accreditation requirements, improve programme delivery, or address operational circumstances.
Where a significant change may materially affect enrolled students, we will take reasonable steps to communicate the change in advance and minimise disruption.
Where reasonably possible, ESDST will seek to ensure that students already enrolled in a programme are provided with an appropriate opportunity to complete their studies.
The Admissions and Student Services teams will primarily communicate with you by email and through any designated student or learning platform.
You are responsible for ensuring that your contact information remains current, checking your email and student accounts regularly, and responding to communications where required.
You are expected to participate appropriately in required learning activities, assessments, academic interactions, and other programme requirements.
If your academic engagement or progress becomes a concern, ESDST may contact you and may invite you to a meeting to discuss the matter and identify appropriate support or corrective action.
Repeated failure to engage, respond to institutional communications, or attend required meetings may result in action being taken in accordance with the relevant academic and student policies, including withdrawal from the programme where applicable.
Students may raise concerns or complaints through the applicable ESDST Student Complaints Resolution Procedure.
Unless otherwise stated in applicable policies, agreements, or legal requirements, intellectual property in original academic work created by you during your studies remains yours.
By enrolling, you permit ESDST to use or reproduce appropriate examples of student work for legitimate academic, teaching, quality assurance, promotional, or institutional purposes, subject to applicable data protection requirements and institutional policies.
If any part of your programme is delivered by, through, or in collaboration with a partner institution, you may also be required to comply with that institution’s relevant academic, administrative, conduct, health and safety, and other applicable rules and regulations in addition to those of ESDST.
The European School of Data Science & Technology (ESDST) is an independent education institution specialising in data science, artificial intelligence, technology, and related disciplines.
The recognition, acceptance, or equivalence of qualifications may vary between countries, employers, universities, professional bodies, immigration authorities, and other organisations.

Where a programme includes on-campus, blended, residential, laboratory, workshop, or other in-person activities, ESDST is committed to maintaining an appropriate and safe learning environment.
Students are expected to comply with applicable health and safety requirements, instructions, procedures, and local regulations. Serious or repeated breaches may result in disciplinary action.
From time to time, ESDST may need to adjust, suspend, restrict, or temporarily pause access to a service, system, platform, facility, or learning resource for reasons including maintenance, upgrades, security, safety, technical issues, regulatory requirements, or operational circumstances.
Where reasonably possible, we will seek to minimise disruption to students and restore affected services as soon as practicable.
Your enrolment may be suspended or terminated in accordance with applicable ESDST policies and the Student Contract. Reasons may include, but are not limited to:
Refund eligibility depends on the circumstances of withdrawal, cancellation, postponement, or programme discontinuation and will be determined in accordance with the applicable Student Contract and Refund Policy.
If ESDST cancels or is unable to deliver a programme, affected students may be entitled to an appropriate refund of fees paid in accordance with the applicable contractual terms and policies.
If you choose to withdraw from your programme, any refund will depend on factors including the timing of your withdrawal, the programme start date, services already provided, and any applicable administrative charges.
Where a cooling-off or cancellation period applies, details will be specified in your admission documents, Student Contract, or applicable Refund Policy.
