Tuition Fees and Downpayment

The tuition fee for the full-time and part-time programmes starting in September 2011 is € 26,000. The fee covers the entire programme including course fees and the international study trip, use of MIF facilities, university registration and examination fees. The fee does not cover text books, living expenses and accommodation (see below).

For applicants to the part-time programme who are working in the Netherlands, it is useful to know that the tuition fee is tax-deductible. For more information, contact the tax authorities or refer to the link below.

Upon confirmation of your participation in the programme we request an enrollment fee of € 3,000. After the receipt of your downpayment your application is final.

MIF Scholarships

For outstanding applicants to the full-time programme a limited number of scholarships are available through the MIF Scholarship Programme. The scholarships cover part of the tuition fee and will be awarded on a competitive basis. In order to apply for a scholarship, a separate application letter will be required. Under our Early Bird Programme, early deciders can also be awarded with a significant tuition waiver.
