Overview tuition fees

this page gives an overview of the tuition fees per academic year

Bachelor

Within the tuition fees for the Bachelor's programmes, we distinguish the statutory tuition fees and the institutional tuition fees.
The so-called statutory fee is lower than the institutional fee. If you are a national of an EEA country you are most likely to pay the statutory tuition fee, which is determind and subsidized by the Dutch government. Read more about the statutory tuition fee requirements, because the fee does not apply to all EEA students. When you do not meet the requirements of the statutory fee, you need to pay for the institutional fee.

Master

Within the tuition fees for the Master's programmes, we distinguish the statutory tuition fees and the institutional tuition fees.
The so-called statutory fee is lower than the institutional fee. If you are a national of an EEA country you are most likely to pay the statutory tuition fee, which is determind and subsidized by the Dutch government.

An academic year runs from September to August. If you start per February, your first academic year runs from February to August.
When you start your studies per February, you initially pay for the period of 1 February to 31 August, 7 months, see 'February intake'. The amounts mentioned under the 'February intake' are therefore 7/12 of the annual amount. The next year you will pay the tuition fee for the entire academic year, as indicated under the 'September intake' for the following year.

Pre-master tuition fee

To follow a premaster programme you have to pay an amount per EC.
Academic year: 2020-2021    Amount per EC: € 35.72
Academic year: 2021-2022    Amount per EC: € 36.13
The total amount you have to pay depends on the number of EC’s from your premaster programme.

Examples:
Your premaster is 30 EC and you will start in the academic year 2020-2021. You will pay € 35.75 x 30 EC = € 1,071.60
Your premaster is 45 EC and you will start in the academic year 2021-2022. You will pay € 36.13 x 45 EC = € 1,625.85

Conditions:

• This regulation applies to both Dutch and international students with a premaster enrolment.
• Instead of paying tuition fees, you will pay an amount in one go and in advance for your entire premaster programme.
• There are two payment methods:
•               Authorisation in one instalment (not possible when you start per 1 February)
•                Transfer the money yourself
• You have no right to a refund (repayment of a part of the amount paid) in the event that you de-enrol your premaster enrolment prematurely.

Extraneus

When registering as Extraneus, you have the right to take exams. You are not entitled to follow lectures, receive guidance and use the student facilities. You are also not entitled to study funding or a refund on your paid exam fee. More information regarding Extraneus can be found on this page. 

Exemption tuition fee: (proof of payment tuition fee)

• If you are enrolled as a student at another Dutch university and have paid the statutory fee, a certificate of payment of tuition fees (BBC) will be accepted when registering at the University of Twente. As a student, you will be asked to provide an original proof of payment of tuition fee (BBC) with your (re-)enrolment in good time.
• If you are a student at another Dutch university and have paid the institutional fee, you cannot be registered as a student with a proof of tuition fees (BBC). As a student you have to pay tuition fees at the University of Twente.

Tuition fees when studying longer than planned

You are required to pay tuition fees for the duration of your enrolment.

This means that if you take longer to graduate (i.e. it takes you 3 years instead of 2 years to complete your study programme), you will be required to pay an additional amount of tuition fee.

The amount will be calculated based on the duration of your enrolment at UT.
