The amount of tuition you have to pay depends on your nationality, your study programme and whether you have already obtained a Dutch higher education diploma. Please check the website for financial information and to use the Tuition Fee Calculator.
When studying at Leiden University, you may be entitled to Dutch student finance and a student travel pass. Whether you are eligible depends on several factors, such as nationality, part-time job and your family’s income. Students who are eligible for Dutch student financing may also apply for a student travel pass.
Do you need to find a paid job to cover some of your expenses while studying in the Netherlands? While finding employment is not impossible, it may well prove a difficult task. Working for the university is a possibility, but there are only a limited number of positions available each year. It is good to be aware that many jobs outside of the university require a good command of Dutch, and depending on your nationality, you may face some restrictions.
