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/EAA students
If you are a national of an EU/EEA country, it is likely you need to pay the so-called ‘statutory tuition fee’. This fee is determined and subsidised by the Dutch government and will be adjusted each academic year. The statutory tuition fee applies to most, but not all students from EU/EEA countries and/or bachelor's (also see ‘Institutional tuition fee’). Visit the website of Student Services for detailed payment conditions.

All bachelor's, except for University College Twente | € 2,314 per year | € 2,530 per year |
€ 4,628 per year | € 5,060 per year | |
Tuition fees for non-EU/EAA students
If you are a national of a non-EU/EEA country, you will need to pay the so-called 'institutional fee'. This fee is higher than the statutory fee because Dutch universities do not receive government funding for non-EU/EEA students. Visit the website of Student Services for detailed payment conditions.

Discount of tuition fee for first-year students
In the first half of 2018, the Dutch government proposed a bill to introduce a discount of € 1,084,- on your tuition fee. The proposal has led to reduced rates per academic year 2018/2019 for freshmen bachelor's students. Check to see if the discount on the tuition fees applies to you, which conditions you should meet and what the tuition fee will be.
