Tuition fees

To study at a university, you will naturally be required to pay tuition. How much you need to pay at Maastricht University (UM) depends on a number of factors, such as which study programme you choose, whether you study full-time or part-time, whether you are planning to start in September or February, whether this is your first or second study programme and, of course, your nationality.

Please note: Statutory tuition fees for first-year bachelor's students halved from academic year 2018/19
The Dutch cabinet has decided to halve the statutory tuition fees for specific groups of first-year bachelor's students as of the academic year 2018/19. These students will be entitled to pay the halved fee once during a consecutive period of 12 months. Master's students are not eligible for the halved fee.
You can find more information on the Government website.

What you will pay at UM if you are eligible for the halved statutory tuition fee:

UM bachelor’s programmes: € 1,030 instead of € 2,060
University College Maastricht (UCM): € 1,702 instead of € 3,405.

Institutional tuition fees

The fees indicated above apply only to students who meet a couple of requirements. These requirements concern your nationality or the start of a second study programme. If you don't meet these requirements, then you need to pay the institutional tuition fee.
