Statutory tuition fees for funded study programmes
Students who join a Bachelor’ degree or associate degree study programme for the first time from the
2018-2019 academic year onwards will be eligible for the reduced statutory tuition fees (if they meet
the requirements for statutory tuition fees). The reduced statutory tuition fees only apply for the first
twelve uninterrupted months of the enrolment as a student. Students can only apply for the reduced
statutory tuition fees for two twelve-month periods on an uninterrupted enrolment as a student if
they are enrolled in the teacher training programme (the Educational exemption category).

The reduced statutory tuition fees are 50% of the normal statutory tuition fees and amount to
€1,071.50, with the exception of the Hotel Management programme for which reduced statutory
tuition fees of €2,278.50 apply. This is in connection with the special distinction ‘small-scale,
intensive education’, as awarded by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders
(NVAO).
Students of the Hotel Management programme who were enrolled for the academic year 2019-2020
before 31 August 2020 and for whom the period of twelve months has not yet elapsed will be charged
tuition fees of €1,675. This is in connection with the transitional arrangement for reduced statutory
tuition fees for small-scale, intensive education (WHW, Article 7.1c).

Full-time study programmes

The statutory tuition fees for a student on a funded full-time study programme amount to
€2,143, with the exception of the full-time study programme:
a. Hospitality Management intake as of the academic year 2014-2015, which amount to €3,350.
The ‘Wet kwaliteit in verscheidenheid’ (Act on quality in diversity) allows study
programmes that are deemed ‘excellent’ in the opinion of the Accreditation Organization
of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) to differentiate tuition fees on the basis of
'small-scale, intensive education'.
Part-time study programmes
The statutory tuition fees for a student on a funded part-time study programme amount to
€1,643, with the exception of the part-time study programme:
a. Master of Architecture, which amount to €2,143.
The Master of Architecture is subject to the national statutory tuition fees for full-time
study programmes.

Dual study programmes

The statutory tuition fees for a student on a funded dual study programme amount to
€2,143.

Institutional tuition fees for funded study programmes
If a student does not meet the requirements as laid down in Article 7.1., paragraphs 1 and 2 of
Chapter 7 of the Regulations on Enrolment and Tuition Fees, then he or she must pay institutional
tuition fees.

The institutional tuition fees for students in funded Bachelor's and Master's programmes
depends on the classification of the study programme in the rate groups that are used for
government funding. The rates for the 2020-2021 academic year are as follows:
Low €8,100
High €9,800
Top €11,100

The classification of the study programmes in the rates groups is listed in the table of page 4.

A transition scheme applies for current students. Current students joined before the 2019-2020
academic year and have not interrupted their studies. The transition rates are based on the
institutional tuition fees for the 2019-2020 academic year, indexed in accordance with the
statutory tuition fees and rounded to €50 increments. The transitional rate is €7,900 with the
exception of the following:

a. Hospitality Management intake, which amount to €9,050.

The ‘Wet kwaliteit in verscheidenheid’ (Act on quality in diversity) allows study programmes
that are deemed ‘excellent’ in the opinion of the Accreditation Organization of the
Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) to differentiate tuition fees on the basis of 'small-scale,
intensive education'.
b. Master of Music, which amount to €7,700.
c. Midwifery, which amount to €9,400.
As the study programme in Midwifery requires significant funding, it is subject to the
high institutional tuition fees.

The transition scheme has a maximum duration of five years. If you fall under the transitional
arrangement and have to deregister as a student for more than one academic year due to illness,
you can submit a request to the Director of the academy to be eligible to pay the transitional fees
again. The transitional arrangement lapses from 2024-2025, and all students will pay the new
institutional tuition fees from that moment on.
