Tuition fees

Maastricht University has a statutory and an institutional tuition fee. Which tuition fee you have to pay depends on your situation.

You can find more information about tuition fees in the UM Enrolment Provisions 2024-2025.
The UM enrolment provisions 2025-2026 will be added on this page in April 2025.

Intensive and small scale
The Global Studies programme is intensive and small scale, offering personal attention and an academic community, and has been granted the BKKI label. Therefore for EU/EEA students, Global Studies charges a higher statutory tuition fee (in line with other BKKI programmes such as University College Maastricht and Maastricht Science Programme). The faculty board has decided to not apply the higher tuition fee for non-EU/EEA students. 

Please note: you have to pay tuition fees for every academic year in which you are enrolled. If you require more time to complete your studies than you anticipated (for example four instead of three years), or if you decide to spread out your 1-year study programme over 2 academic years, you will have to pay tuition fees for every new enrolment year.
More information about this is available on the webpage ‘Tuition fees’.

Note: from the academic year 2025-2026 onwards, there is a new approach to calculating the institutional tuition fees. Please refer to our page ‘New calculation of institutional tuition fees and transitional arrangement’ for more information on:

• the different approach to calculating the institutional tuition fees,
• a transitional arrangement for students who were enrolled at UM for a bachelor’s, pre-master’s or master’s programme in 2024-2025.
