- Tuition
- Statutory fee around €2,500/yr for EU students; institutional fees for non-EU students typically range €14,000–26,000/yr depending on the field.
- Scholarships
- Holland Scholarship (€5,000) for non-EU/EEA master's students, Erasmus+ for intra-EU mobility, plus university-specific merit funds — see the programme's Scholarships section for what applies here.
