Tuition Fees and Living Expenses
Students from The Netherlands, countries within the EU/EEA, Switzerland or Suriname, pay the statutory tuition fee.
Students from a non-EU/EEA country and students who have previously obtained a degree from a Dutch government-funded program, pay the institutional tuition fee. In some cases, non-EU/EEA students are eligible for the statutory tuition fee. They have to meet the nationality requirement for a government study fund from DUO.
