Paying your tuition fees

You can pay your tuition fees in different ways (mention your student number always in de comment section of the transaction):

1. By a one-time, direct transfer to the bank account of Maastricht University (UM), including your name and student ID number:
   ING: 65.48.94.949
   IBAN: NL 91 ING B 0654 894949
   BIC: INGBNL2A
2. By authorising UM, if you have a Dutch bank account, to debit the fees from your account in eight instalments: 
   1. in Studielink you provide direct debit authorisation with DigiD, see the step by step plan for more details (pdf, 121 Kb).
   2. download your debit authorisation form, fill it in and send it to UM. Go to My UM portal to find out more about downloading your debit authorisation form.
      
      
      Note that a €24 administration fee will be charged with the first instalment.
      If your study programme starts in September, the withdrawals will be made on or around 25-10-2011, 25-11-2011, 25-01-2012, 27-02-2012, 26-03-2012, 25-04-2012, 25-05-2012 and 25-06-2012. No withdrawal is scheduled for December 2011.

UM charges the following tuition fees for students starting in February 2012:

• lower fee for bachelor’s and master’s programmes: 7/12* of € 1,713 = € 999.25
• higher fee for bachelor’s programmes: 7/12* of € 8,500 = € 4,958.33
• higher fee for master’s programmes: 7/12* of € 12,000 = € 7,000.

* Please note that you pay 7 out of 12 months when starting in February. Upon re-registration in September 2012 you will pay the yearly tariff (12/12) of the tuition fee for the academic year 2012-2013 which will be set in spring 2012. If you graduate before 1 February 2013, you are eligible for restitution of the tuition fee for the remaining months of the academic year.

If you have more questions about paying tuition fee you can contact the Student Service Centre.

Please note:

• pay your tuition fee or return the direct debit authorisation before 1 September. If we do not receive your payment and the required documents (see the document checklist) before 1 September, you will not be properly enrolled and will not be able to start your study programme!
• You may only pay in instalments if you have a Dutch bank account. If you have no Dutch bank account, contact our Call Centre. They can tell you more about this.
• From September 2011, it will no longer be possible to enrol in a study programme part-way through the academic year. For programmes that start in September, you will only be able to start in September; only for programmes that also have an official February start will it be possible to start in February. Exceptions may be made in particular cases.
• The tuition fees that different students are required to pay can vary considerably. Factors such as your nationality, place of residence, and whether this is your first or second study programme all play an important role. Please consult our click model to find out exactly how much you will need to pay.

You are only officially enrolled – and thus permitted to start your study programme – once you have submitted all the required documents and we have received your payment or direct debit authorisation.
