Statutory tuition fees

You pay statutory tuition fees if:

• you are a citizen of the EU/EER, Switzerland or Suriname
  and
• you have not already earned a similar diploma at another public-funded educational institute in the Netherlands.

Discontinuation of halving tuition fees for first-year higher education

The halving of tuition fees by DUO will end as of the 2024-2025 academic year. Anyone who starts a course in September 2024 will pay the full tuition fee rate that applies.

If you are already currently following a teacher education course, you may still be entitled to your tuition fees being halved for the second year. Check here which conditions apply.
