Pricing
It is our priority to provide affordable, quality education in computational sciences to anyone anywhere in the world, but we must also make sure that our teaching assistants receive fair compensation for their work.
While we are supported by generous donations from a variety of foundations and industry partners, we strive to make our live courses sustainable by charging a small, regionally-adjusted tuition fee. This fee is (1) substantially lower than those of traditional summer schools, (2) determined by the location, career position, and funding status of each student individually, and (3) essentially in its entirety used to pay our teaching assistants.
We do not want tuition fees to be a barrier for anybody, so fee waivers are available to students that need them without any impact on their admission. However, if you can pay even a part of your fee without hardship, we kindly ask that you do so. There is also an opportunity to pay more than your fee if you would like to help subsidize fee waivers for students with less financial means than yourself.
Dates
Our live course runs annually in July. We are considering the addition of a second live course in December/January, but a decision for next year has not been made yet.
Information for Teaching Assistants
Teaching assistants lead each student classroom and group research project team. They have ensure students collaboratively learn while also being available as a more experienced expert to answer questions and provide guidance to the pod.
Teaching assistants are paid, full-time, temporary, contracted roles. TA compensation is provided by this calculator.
You can read more about the TA role on our Courses Page or in the Portal.
