Tuition fees

Statutary rate
Each year, the Minister of Education determines the tuition fees for full time and part time programs in higher education.

All students with EU/EEA nationality are required to pay this fee, referred to as the statutory fee. This fee applies to all institutes of higher education throughout the Netherlands and is a one-off payment, regardless of the number of programs or courses you take or the institution you take them at. This goes as long as you don't have a degree yet.

Institutional rate
As soon as you have a degree, EU/EEA students pay the institutional fee.

The fees for non-EU/EEA nationals, part time students and students registered for other forms of higher education are determined by the institutes themselves. This is referred to as the institutional fee. If you pay an institutional fee, you will be required to pay this for each programme you register.

Registration and Tuition Fees Regulations
There are many exceptions to the rules mentioned above and some students have to deal with transition rules. In the Regulations Registration and tuition fees you can read the official definitions, rates, conditions and exclusions.
