The Ministry of Education has set the statutory tuition fee for full-time courses at €2,314. As of 2023-2024, the statutory fee for first-year Bachelor’s students enrolling for the first time in higher education in the Netherlands will be halved to €1,157 for a period of one year.

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 with the status of an asylum-seeker or refugee, 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.

You will find more information about the institutional tuition fees on the website of the University of the Arts The Hague.

Excellence Scholarships and Holland Scholarships are available for Master’s candidates who perform best in the entrance exams (both EEA and non-EEA students are eligible for a scholarship). Click here for more information.

The Practicum Musicae program is jointly funded by Leiden University and the Royal Conservatoire. There are no additional costs for students, in addition to the statutory or institutional tuition fees applicable to them.

You set up a direct debit authorization: If you’ve a bank account with an IBAN number in an EU country, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Monaco or San Marino, you can set up a direct debit payment to allow us to deduct the fees from your account on the agreed dates. This can be done via Studielink. You can choose to pay your tuition fees all at once (September), or in eight instalments (between September and April).

Setting up a direct debit via Studielink is only possible if you have a bank account in the countries mentioned above. If your bank is in another country, you’ll need to pay the entire balance in one go. Transfer the entire amount by yourself by direct bank transfer. Always mention your family name, student number and date of birth.
