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. 

Please note:

You have to pay tuition fees for every academic year in which you are enrolled. More information about this is available on the webpage ‘Tuition fees’, under 'Please note: enrolment per academic year'.
