Tuition fees

To study at a university, you are 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 and your nationality.
