What about the budget?

Studying costs money. As Dutch universities do not receive government funding for non-EU students, we set different rates for students from outside the EU/EEA.

TUITION FEES 2022-2023

BACHELOR TUITION FEES PER YEAR NATIONALITY TUITION FEES PER YEAR ATLAS STUDENTS EU/EEA nationalities €2,209 Non-EU/EEA nationalities €9,350 or 10,875* * depending on the programme €3,252 €11,834

PLEASE NOTE: These were the tuition fees for the academic year 2021/2022, at the time of printing this brochure. As well as being adjusted annually, the fees may differ due to changes in university policy. Visit our website to view the latest information regarding tuition fees.

OTHER EXPENSES

Tuition fees are not all. You’ll also need money for housing, food and so on. According to Nibud, the National Institute for Family Finance Information in the Netherlands (nibud.nl), living the student life will cost you, on average, about a thousand euros a month – that’s including the EU/EEA tuition fee mentioned above. Here’s the calculation behind that estimate:

COSTS FOR EU/EEA STUDENTS LIVING AWAY FROM HOME

Rent (this cost is generally lower in Enschede) €366 Shopping €161 Textbooks €57 Transport (on top of a rail card) €55 Recreation, going out, sport €144 Shoes and clothing €47 Medical insurance €97 Telephone €26
