The 2021-2022 tuition fee for the MSc programmes is approximately €18,700 per year. The Dutch government contributes towards this cost for students who hold nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). These students, therefore, pay only the statutory fee of €2,168 per year. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.

For EEA nationals who have already completed a master in the Netherlands (and obtained the diploma) the tuition fee for a 2nd master is €12,300.

The MSc International Management - CEMS (18 months) is a longer programme, therefore the tuition fee will have to be paid for the duration of the programme.
