07 - Netherlands - Registration and/or tuition fees
Students in higher education pay tuition fees to the institution. As long as they are under 30 years old
on the date when the academic year begins, they are charged the statutory rate for tuition fees. The
annual statutory tuition fees for all full-time courses during the 2007/2008 academic year are €1,538.
The level of the statutory fees is fixed by law and is adjusted every year in line with the family spending
index. Students aged 30 or over have to pay fees at a separate rate, the level of which is set by the
institution itself and can therefore vary from one institution to another.
HBO master’s degrees
After gaining some experience on the job market, many students opt for master’s degree programmes
at HBO institutions. These are not government funded. Institutions set their own fees, which vary from
€5,000 to €15,000. Students attending these courses may still be entitled to financial support if they did
not use up their full entitlement completing their bachelor’s degree.
