How much do you need to pay for your bachelor's? Find out about the tuition fees.
The tuition fee you will need to pay depends on two factors: your nationality and the type of programme you have chosen to follow.
Tuition fees for EU/EEA students
If you are a national of an EU/EEA country, you will most likely pay the statutory tuition fee. This fee is set and subsidised by the Dutch government and may change each academic year. The statutory tuition fee applies to most, but not all, students from EU/EEA countries. If you do not meet the conditions for the statutory tuition fee, you will be required to pay the institutional tuition fee.
Also, note that you are required to pay an application fee.

Tuition fees for non-EU/EAA students
If you are a national of a non-EU/EEA country, you will usually pay the institutional tuition fee. This fee is higher than the statutory tuition fee, as Dutch universities do not receive government funding for non-EU/EEA students.
The institutional tuition fee you pay depends on the programme you choose. Check below to find out whether your programme is subject to the lower or higher tuition fee rate.
Please also note that you are required to pay an application fee.
