The tuition fee can be paid in different ways. When you apply, you can indicate how the fee can best be paid by your employer, by you or by both of you. If you first take a pre-Master, the fee of that part will be invoiced first. The costs of the Master's programme will be settled at the start of the Master.
You can also pay the tuition fees in monthly instalments. There is a lot of flexibility settling the tuition fee.
If you live outside the Netherlands, you may be requested to make a down payment after registering for the programme.
The Executive Programme in Management Studies is a non-funded programme. Regular tuition fees (Wettelijk collegegeld or Instellingscollegegeld) for Dutch and EU students or Non-EU students do not apply.
DUO offers a loan for tuition fees for local and foreign professionals living and working in the Netherlands (Lifelong learning credit). For more information, please check the DUO website. Please note that the Lifelong learning credit applies to our Master's programme only.
Most of our students are financially supported by their employer. An employer can pay the tuition fee and deduct this investment in your education from your gross salary. In this way your fiscal salary decreases and you will pay less income tax. For your employer this is cost neutral while your benefit may go up to almost 50% of the tuition fee.
Following a part-time MSc programme does not only have benefits for you as a student, but also for your employer.
