Tuition fees

The following tuition fee amounts have been set for the 2024-2025 academic year.

• Contract students (Erasmus+ or exchange), EEA and non-EEA students pay their tuition fees to the home institution during the exchange programme.
• Freemovers (individual EEA and non-EEA exchange students) pay tuition fees to Avans University of Applied Sciences. The tuition fees are calculated based on the amount of study credits (30 ECTS) the exchange programme represents. The cost for 1 ECTS is €75. If you are a freemover you have to fill out the Study and Course Fee Agreement and upload it when you register yourself. Please also send a proof of payment to the International Office via [email protected]. If we cannot process your payment or your payment is received after the deadline you will not be enrolled.

All obligations, financial or otherwise, must be met before you are entitled to take or resit exams and interim exams, participate in any educational activity or make use of facilities.

The tuition fees are reviewed annually, and are therefore subject to change. Read more about how fees are set on the determination of the institutional tuition fees page.

Payment of tuition fees

You pay your tuition fees directly to Avans University of Applied Sciences. You can only do this via a digital authorisation. You fill in your digital authorisation during your application in the online Studielink environment.

International students who do not have a bank account in the SEPA zone cannot issue digital authorisation for a direct debit mandate for the collection of tuition fees. These students need to transfer the amount to Avans University of Applied Sciences. 

To meet the admission requirements, the full amount of the institutional tuition fees must be received by Avans University of Applied Sciences by 15 June 2024.
