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.
Other study costs
In addition to your tuition fees, you will need to include a number of other study costs in your budget, such as books, stationary, excursions, a laptop or other equipment. These costs vary per programme but academic books and study materials will usually cost you between €50-100 per month.
Living costs
