Tuition fees 2024-2025

The statutory tuition fee only applies for students who have not previously obtained a Dutch Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and are nationals of an EEA country (including the Netherlands), Switzerland or Surinam and for non-EEA students with an EEA partnership or asylum status, as legally registered in the Netherlands.

Students from outside the EEA and students who have already obtained a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the Netherlands pay the institutional tuition fee, which is set by the university’s Executive Board.

The tariffs of the Institutional, course and contract tuition fee will annually follow the same indexation as that of the government’s determined Statutory tuition fee rate. The Statutory tuition fee rate will be published annually, for the following academic year, in the “Staatscourant”. Based on this, the other fees will also be calculated for the following academic years and published internally.

Pay the entire amount by direct bank transfer and select the transfer option: OUR/our costs (: pay bank transfer costs by yourself).
