Tuition fee payment methods

After you submit a registration request in Studielink, you will be notified when it is time to declare your payment details and method.

You can choose one of two payment methods in Studielink:

Payment via digital authorisation
Other method of payment

First-year students requiring a visa/residence permit for study cannot pay by digital authorisation or in installments. They need to transfer the tuition fee in one lump sum prior to the start of the study programme.

1. Payment via digital authorisation

By submitting a digital authorisation form, you give consent for UM to debit the tuition fees from your bank account. This can be done in eight* instalments or as a single lump sum (only with a SEPA IBAN bank account). You can also indicate that a third party will pay your tuition fees on your behalf. This person will need a DigiD code. If the third party does not have this but you nonetheless wish to pay in instalments, please choose method 2.

* If you are starting your study programme in February, the tuition fees will be debited in four instalments.

2. Other method of payment

If you select this method, there are two options:

a. Payment in eight instalments
b. Single lump-sum transfer

a. Payment in eight instalments
You will receive an email from UM with a link to a hard-copy authorisation form. With this form you authorise UM to debit the tuition fees in eight* instalments. You can also indicate that a third party will pay the fees for you. This person must sign the hard-copy authorisation form to give permission for the payments to be debited from his/her bank account.

The account holder, be it yourself or someone paying on your behalf, will need to have a SEPA IBAN bank account.

* If you are starting your study programme in February, the tuition fees will be debited in four instalments.

Dates of direct debits 2017–2019

b. Single lump-sum transfer
With this option, you transfer the full tuition fee to Maastricht University in a single lump sum before the start of the academic year. You do not need to fill in an authorisation form and do not need a SEPA IBAN bank account.

NB! When making payments, always state your student ID number, consisting of an “i” and seven digits (e.g. i2345678).

When to pay your tuition fees

Are you studying at another institution in addition to UM?

If you are eligible for the statutory tuition fee, you only have to pay tuition fees at one of the institutions at which you are studying. To this end you will need to provide proof that you have paid tuition fees at one of those institutions (Bewijs Betaald Collegegeld (BBC)). Please send the original proof of payment from the other institution to:
