Tuition fees and costs
Before enrolling, check the tuition fee you will need to pay. How much you pay depends on your nationality, your programme, and — if you are required to pay the statutory tuition fees — whether you are studying full-time or part-time:
Other Study Costs
In addition to tuition fees, you will incur expenses for books, excursions, a laptop, and other study materials. Also, take into account other costs, such as food, public transport, and accommodation if you plan to live in student housing.
Fieldwork costs
Before joining the programme, students must be fully aware that they need to cover all the costs associated with the fieldwork. This will include travel, housing, transportation, communication, food, etc. Additionally, some destination countries have high visa costs. Students should keep all of this in mind when making their decision to join the programme. If students already have an idea of where they might want to carry out the fieldwork, it is advisable to check at an early stage what kind of visa and travel costs they can expect. There is a small fieldwork subsidy available of a few hundred euros from the UvA, but students should plan to spend between €2000-3000 for their fieldwork. The variation in costs depends mostly on the destination country of the students.
Living costs
Keep in mind that living in Amsterdam also includes costs such as accommodation, food and public transport.
Scholarships and financial aid
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) aims to attract the world’s brightest students to its international classrooms. For that reason, it has established several scholarship programmes designed to offer talented and motivated international students the opportunity to pursue a degree at the UvA.
