Expected rise in tuition feesPublished Wednesday 16 November 2005 Prospective students are urgently advised of the following:
This applies both to study programmes taught in English and to those taught in Dutch.Unfortunately, as in other countries in Europe (eg Sweden, Finland and Denmark), the Dutch government has decided to cease government funding for non-EU/EEA students. This forces Dutch universities to charge fees on a cost-recovery basis. Fees for non-EU/EEA students are expected to reach full cost level (estimated at €9,000) in the academic year 2007/2008. Students who start a multi-year programme in 2006/2007 will also be charged the higher fees from 2007/2008 onwards.
To counterbalance the rise in tuition fees a university scholarship scheme for specific groups is currently being developed. Details will be posted on the UvA website as soon as possible.
Non-EU/EEA students who are entitled to Dutch government studiefinanciering (study stipends) are exempt from full cost tuition fees. These students pay the same rate as EU/EEA students (€1,496 for 2005/2006). To find out if you are entitled to studiefinanciering please visit www.ib-groep.nl/.
