Study expenses and Payment

for students outside EU / EFTA

The university expenses consist of:

• Tuition fees
  This fee is determined by the University board and based on two full academic years (24 months). It is possible to receive a partial refund during the second year if you graduate before the end of the year; the refund depends on the graduation date.
• Research fees
  A one-time fee to cover research expenses during your internship and/or thesis.
• Living expenses
  The minimum amount you will require for living expenses is approximately € 800 a month. This includes housing (approx. € 300 - € 400 p/m), food, books and study materials. First-year students require an extra half month of living expenses as they arrive in Wageningen before the start of the academic year. Wageningen University is obliged to proof to the Immigration Authorities that the students will have adequate financial resources. For that reason all students who require a residence permit need to transfer the living allowance to the bank account of Wageningen University. Wageningen University will administer the funds during their study and refund the living allowance on monthly basis.
• Insurance 
  Another expense to consider is insurance for health and legal liability. Students with a European Health Insurance Card are only required to arrange legal liability insurance - this can be arranged by the university.
