  16. The Government specifies the maximum appropriation (ceiling amount) that can be paid to each higher education institution in any fiscal year for FTE students and FTE study results. • The Government also sets the level of revenue per FTE student and FTE study result for the different fields of study. Where artistic programmes are concerned, the appropriation directions issued to each institution of higher education also indicate the maximum number of FTE students that the institution is entitled to deduct for in each field of study. • The higher education institutions decide on how the revenues earned (the grant) are to be used for the different programmes and different types of courses etc. Ange titeln på din presentation här… • 1 (1)
