Cost of living

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the Netherlands is not expensive to live in compared with other countries world-wide. The average cost of living when joining a one-year, full-time programme is € 10,114 (tuition fee not included). It goes without saying that the actual cost of living entirely depends on one's personal expenditure.

Participating in a Nihes degree programme entails significant personal and financial obligations, especially when coming from abroad. If you are thinking of taking up a part-time job, keep in mind that the heavy course load will make it extremely difficult to do so. Therefore, we recommend you to explore all possible sources of funding in your home country.

(*) This fee must be paid upon arrival by all applicants who need a visa to enter the Netherlands.
