In general, nationals of EU/EEA countries are eligible to pay the statutory tuition fee for their studies at AUC, provided that they have not previously obtained a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the Netherlands. You can find more specific details about which nationality and residence permits qualify (if all other legal requirements are met) to pay the statutory tuition fee on the University of Amsterdam website.

The statutory tuition fee for Amsterdam University College for the academic year 2026-2027 is €5580. 

You are required to pay the institutional tuition fee if:

• you are not a national of an EU or EEA Member State, Switzerland or Suriname;
• after obtaining your Dutch Bachelor's degree, you enrol in a second Bachelor's programme;
• after obtaining your Dutch Bachelor's or Master's degree, you enrol in a second degree programme, unless your second programme is in education or health care.

The institutional fee is the same for full-time students and part-time students.

If you were enrolled at AUC on or before 1 September 2025 and pay the institutional tuition fee, you keep the tuition rate that applied in the year you started (your cohort fee). Your fee does not jump to a new, higher amount if a higher fee is set for later cohorts. Instead, it is adjusted each year for general wage and price developments. For the 2026–2027 academic year, the indexation rate is 3.62%.

Note: the indexation only applies if you were continuously enrolled at AUC. If your enrolment is interrupted, you may be charged the new institutional tuition fee that applies in the year you start studying again.

Institutional tuition fees for current AUC students: 2026-2027

* This fee applies if you already have a Dutch Bachelor’s degree and start a second Bachelor’s, or if you already have a Dutch Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and start a second degree programme.
