Tuition fees

You pay the statutory tuition fee if you:

• have the Dutch nationality or the nationality of another country that is part of the EEA, or the Surinamese or Swiss nationality and
• live in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, or one of the German federal states of Northern Rhineland-Westphalia, Lower Saxony or Bremen at the time of enrolment (reference date 30 September) and
• don't already have a bachelor's or master's degree at the start of the academic year

In the academic year 2012-2013 the statutory fee is € 1,771, for 'langstudeerders' the tuition fee is € 4,834.

If this does not apply to you, check the tuition fee regulations to see whether there are other conditions through which you are eligible for the statutory tuition fee.

In all other cases you pay the institution tuition fee. In the academic year 2012-2013 the institution fee is € 7,578.

Langstudeerders:
The Dutch government has submitted a legislative proposal to the Lower House with the intention of increasing the statutory tuition fee for ‘langstudeerders’ (slow-progressing students: 6 years or more ) as well as withdrawing their ‘OV-chipkaart’ (student pass for public transport). More information on this subject and the consequences for you as a student can be found on:

• Tuition fee increase for Delayed studies (‘langstudeerders’) (pdf) 
• the web pages 'Langstudeerders' of DUO - IB-Groep (in Dutch).
