Master's February intake

If you start in February, your first academic year will run from February to August. When you join in February, you will initially pay an amount for the period from 1 February to 31 August, so 7 months in total. The amounts mentioned for the February intake are therefore 7/12 of the annual amount. Then, from September onwards, you pay again for an entire academic year, or the rates for the September intake of the following year.

How can I pay my tuition fees?

First-year students requiring a visa/residence permit cannot pay the tuition fees by digital authorisation or in instalments. They need to pay their tuition fee for a whole year in one single payment by bank transfer before we can submit their application to the IND.

At Studielink you can indicate how you want to pay your tuition fee. There are 4 possibilities for paying your tuition fees.

1. Payment via (digital) authorisation in 5 instalments
Payment by authorisation in 5 instalments is only possible for everyone with a European IBAN connected to SEPA.
The first instalment will be raised by €24 in administration costs. When you start in February with your master's programme, you can only pay in two instalments instead of five instalments. Payment in instalments is not possible for pre-master's applications.
Instalment dates (please note the instalment may be withdrawn a few days later):
- 30 September 2024
- 29 November 2024
- 31 January 2025
- 31 March 2025
- 28 May 2025
2. Payment via (digital) authorisation in 1 instalment
The total amount will be withdrawn around 30 September (for the September intake) or around 31 March (for the February intake).
In Studielink it is possible to arrange the payment by authorisation of your tuition fee. To be able to use the digital authorisation you need to have a European IBAN connected to SEPA. If someone else signs for the authorisation, this person must have a European IBAN connected to SEPA and DigiD.
If you meet the requirements for paying your tuition fees by authorisation but are unable to use the digital authorisation in Studielink, contact Student Services. Please do not forget to mention your student number.
3. Single transfer: transferring the full fee manually by a single transfer
In Studielink you can choose a payment method by ‘Other Method of Payment’. If you have chosen a single transfer you have to transfer the complete amount at once to the University of Twente, stating your name, date of birth and student number. The complete amount has to be transferred to the bank account below. Please take a processing time of two weeks into account. In case of an international transfer, you need to mention the BIC-code: ABNANL2A.

4. Exemption through certification tuition fees paid (BBC, Bewijs Betaald Collegegeld)
If you are already enrolled as a student at another Dutch university or institute of higher vocational education, you can get, under certain conditions, an exemption or reduction of tuition fees at the University of Twente. If your other educational institution supports this, Certification Tuition Fees Paid can be arranged digitally in Studielink. If your other educational institution does not support this in Studielink, you need to request an original proof of tuition fee (Certification Tuition Fees Paid) payment at the institute where you have paid the fees. Please include the original certificate when sending your (re-)enrolment form to Student Services.

Change payment details

Have you specified a payment option, but want to change it, or do you want to change your bank account number? You can complete the change form and submit it to Student Services.

Can I get a refund of the application fee?

The application fee is only applicable to students with an international prior education, who want to follow a master programme of the faculty EEMCS and/or ET. The application fee is non-refundable when you first apply from the September 2023 intake onwards.

Have you applied for an earlier intake for a programme that you will now start, please contact Student Services.

Restitution of tuition fees after de-enrolment

Have you obtained a diploma (with a certificate)?
Are you (temporarily) quitting your studies?

Then you need to submit a de-enrolment request via Studielink. You need to make this request in the month that you will quit your studies, at the latest at 31 May. De-enrolment requests that are submitted at a later moment cannot be processed, so make sure to be on time!

When you are eligible for restitution, the amount will be refunded automatically. Please note that it may take a couple of days before the money actually reaches your account.

If you de-enrol after the 15^th, a full instalment will be collected and you will be eligible for a refund.
