Tuition fees and monthly cost of living
When you wish to study at Tilburg University, you must pay a tuition fee. Tuition fees cover the cost of lectures and facilities provided by the university, such as the extensive university library, Wi-Fi on campus, and symposia and other meetings.
Tuition fees at Tilburg University are always for one full academic year.
Tilburg University receives state funding for students with European Economic Aera (EEA) citizenship. Therefore students who are EEA citizens pay lower tuition fees than students who are non-EEA citizens. In addition, when you have obtained a previous Bachelor's diploma in the Netherlands, different rules apply as well. The Dutch Ministry of Education determines these general rules and regulations.
Two different rates
There are two different tuition fee rates: the statutory rate and the institutional rate. It depends on your nationality and previous education which rate applies.
