So we wrote a project with the professor at the University of Groningen and then she is my co-guide for the Ph.D. The important factor for me accepting this offer was the interdisciplinary work that I am getting to do. It involves Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Computational Neuroscience.

Fees:

There is no tuition fee there. Although I have to pay the tuition fee in India which is around 30,000 per semester including hostel and mess fees.
