Intensive and small scale

The Global Studies programme is intensive and small scale, offering personal attention and an academic community, and has been granted the BKKI label. Therefore for EU/EEA students, Global Studies charges a higher statutory tuition fee (in line with other BKKI programmes such as University College Maastricht and Maastricht Science Programme). The faculty board has decided to not apply the higher tuition fee for non-EU/EEA students. 


Note

You have to pay tuition fees for every academic year in which you are enrolled. If you require more time to complete your studies than you anticipated (for example four instead of three years), or if you decide to spread out your one-year study programme over two academic years, you will have to pay tuition fees for every new enrolment year.
