Who has to pay the application fee?

Every student with an foreign diploma has to pay the application fee.

The application fee will not be waived except for very specific cases. These are:

• students who have refugee status in the Netherlands
• students who are applying for an Erasmus Mundus programme
• students who are applying for a Double Degree programme and whose prior university has already evaluated their diploma. These students will be informed of this in their application instructions
• students who are applying on the basis of a Dutch diploma
• students who are applying on the basis of a VWO diploma from Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Saba, St. Eustatius or Surinam.
