Tuition fees Master's degree programmes
Depending on your personal situation, you pay the statutory tuition fees or the university tuition fees.
The tuition fees are set for one academic year each year. The academic year runs from 1 September to 31 August. The tuition fees for next year will be announced during the current academic year.
The Dutch government will fund one Bachelor’s degree and one Master’s degree per student who have the nationality of a country from the EU/EEA, Suriname or Switzerland. These students pay the statutory tuition fees for their degree programmes.
The University does not receive a government subsidy for students who wish to gain a second degree at the same level as their first on, and for students who do not meet the nationality requirements. These students pay the university tuition fees for their degree programmes.
The University of Groningen has based its university tuition fees on the shortfall created by the lack of government funding. The Board of the University presents the university tuition fee levels to the University Council for advice on an annual basis.
Changes in your personal circumstances can have consequences for the tuition fees that you have to pay.
- You are awarded a Bachelor's or Master’s degree, but you do not terminate your registration for that Bachelor's or Master’s degree programme, then you pay the statutory fees for that registration for the remaining part of the academic year.
- At the time of registration for a degree programme, you satisfy the conditions of statutory tuition fees, but at some point during that academic year you no longer satisfy the nationality requirement. For the rest of the academic year you pay the statutory tuition fees for registration for that degree programme.
- If you are charged university tuition fees II at the time of registration, but believe that you satisfy the conditions of statutory tuition fees, you can make a request to have your tuition fees converted to the lower rate through the Immigration Service Desk.
- If you, at the time of registration for a degree programme, do not satisfy the conditions of statutory tuition fees, but during that academic year will satisfy the provisions of nationality requirement, you may submit a request to the Immigration Service Desk for the conversion of the University tuition fees into statutory tuition fees. The request must be submitted during the same academic year in which the conditions are satisfied. It is not possible to convert tuition fees with retrospective effect for previous academic years. Conversion to the statutory tuition fees will occur as of the first of the month following the month in which the conditions were satisfied.

* For UK students, whether or not they meet the requirements for statutory tuition fees after 31 December 2020 may depend on the outcome of the current Brexit negotiations. Please consult the University Brexit pages for more information for prospective students and for current students.
The same degree may not have been gained before at a government-funded institution in the Netherlands:
Students who enrol for a Bachelor's degree programme may not previously have gained a Bachelor's degree and students who enrol for a Master's degree programme may not previously have gained a Master's degree from a university or university of applied science in the Netherlands. The data to be used will be that included in the Central Register of Higher Education Enrolment (CRIHO) since 1 September 1991.
