Statutory tuition fee

Most students pay the statutory tuition fee, which is € 2,530 for the 2024-2025 academic year. 

You are eligible for the statutory tuition fee, if you meet the following conditions:

1. Nationality

You meet one of the following conditions:

• You have the Dutch nationality.
• You have the nationality of a EU/EEA country, Suriname or Switzerland.
• You are the partner or child of a non-Dutch EU/EEA citizen who lives or works in the Netherlands.
• You have a residence permit type II, III, IV, V or ‘Article 50 TEU’.
• You have a type I residence permit with the appropriate condition. Please refer to the terms and conditions help.
• You are a national of the United Kingdom (UK) and have a right of residence 28, 29, 40 or 30.

2. You have not obtained a previous degreee from a government-funded study programme in the Netherlands

This means that you have not earned a degree in government-funded Dutch Higher Education after 31 July 1991: an Associate degree, a Bachelor's degree or a Master's degree if you are going to do an Associate degree, a Bachelor’s degree if you are going to do a Bachelor’s course or a Master’s degree if you are going to do a Master’s degree. If you already have a degree and are planning to pursue a course in the field of either education or healthcare, you will pay the statutory tuition fee (provided that your first degree is not in education or healthcare).

ArtEZ can charge the institutional tuition fee if, in the course of the year, a student no longer meets these conditions.

Institutional tuition fee

For new students in the 2024-2025 academic year, the institutional tuition fee for all Bachelor courses and Associate Degree courses is € 11,200. For all Master courses the institutional fee is € 12,250. If you previously paid the institutional tuition fee and are re-enrolling after a gap year, these amounts apply to you as well. If you need a residence permit as a non-EU student, you have to transfer what we call a financial guarantee before 31 May. Please check the page Financial guarantee Non-EU.

Students already enrolled in the 2023-2024 academic year and re-enrolling on the same course at ArtEZ in the 2024-2025 academic year pay for a Bachelorcourse or an Associate Degree € 10,700 and for a Mastercourse € 11,700.

The amount of the institutional tuition fee is set by the Supervisory Board and can vary by course or group of students. It cannot be lower than the statutory tuition fee. Government funding for initial studies differentiates between various courses: art courses receive more government funding than many other courses.

If in the course of the year you no longer meet the conditions for the statutory tuition fee, ArtEZ can proceed to charge the institutional tuition fee.

Two study programmes simultaneously

Students who are following more than one programme at a time, only pay the statutory tuition fee for their second study programme if they have obtained their first degree and have yet to complete their second.
