Tuition

Our Master of Applied Museum and Heritage Studies has been accepted for government funding. This means that fulltime and parttime students from the European Economic Area (EU, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) who don’t have a master’s degree yet (this applies to master's degrees obtained after 31 August 1991 at a Dutch-funded institution) can enrol in the programme for a government set tuition fee, which for 2025-2026 will be € 2.601 per annum. Students from Switzerland or Surname are eligible for the statutory tuition fee as well. 

The tuition for non-EEA students, and EEA students holding a master’s degree (this applies to master's degrees obtained after 31 August 1991 at a Dutch-funded institution), will be € 9.808 per annum for the fulltime programme. 

For the parttime programme the EEA students holding a master's degree obtained after 31 August 1991 at a Dutch-funded institution, are required to pay the lower AHK-rate, which for 2025-2026 will amount to € 7.375 per annum.

Tuition can be paid in 10 instalments.
