UC3M is a public university, but it prices the Master in Management as an own-degree programme rather than at the low regulated public rate — €150 per ECTS for EU students and €225 per ECTS for non-EU students, which works out to about €9,000 and €13,500 respectively for the 60-credit degree. A €1,500 reservation fee counts toward tuition. UC3M lists these as the 2025/26 per-credit rates, pending the Community of Madrid's approval of the 2026/27 figures, so confirm the exact current amount on the school's own page. That still undercuts Madrid's private schools such as IE or Esade for a one-year, English-taught, FT-ranked master's.
Tuition for the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Master in Management is €9,000 (EU) / €13,500 (non-EU) for the 60-ECTS programme, full-time for the 12 months program.
