Tuition Fee & Finances

* plus additional costs, see the overview costs page

** more information regarding the tuition fee for first year students can be found on government.nl

Digital authorisation is  only possible when you have a bank in one of the SEPA-countries 

The TU Delft advises you to arrange your payment through the digital authorisation in Studielink. After logging in with your DigiD, you fill in your payment details in Studielink and continue the steps.

When somebody else is paying through debit authorisation, please notify this in Studielink. In that case the other person has to confirm the digital authorisation with his/her DigiD.  

The moment at which the TU Delft receives the digital authorisation, is the moment that your payment obligations are deemed fulfilled. 

Account number

In order to pay through the digital authorisation, you need to have a bank account (not a saving account) registered within one of the SEPA countries .  

If you want to change your account number, you have to do it at least 10 days before the debit date. Otherwise the debit will take place from the former account number. If you would like to make changes to your account number or payment method, please fill in this form and send it to contactcentre-ESA@tudelft.nl

Collection by instalments 

The digital debit authorisation enables you to pay the tuition fees in 12 monthly instalments. The first collection date will be around 23 September and the last collection date around 23 August.  

If you pay in instalments, an administration costs of € 24 will be charged. These costs are debited together with the first instalment. If you reconsider your method of payment after collection of the first instalment  and pay the remaining tuition fees in one go, you are still required to pay the administration costs. 

For example when you have a second enrolment elsewhere or when you are an exchange student or you receive a TU Delft-approved scholarship.

There are four ways in which you can be exempt from directly paying your tuition fee at TU Delft.

1. Second enrolment or minor student 

When you have an enrolment at one of the 3TU degree programmes at TU Eindhoven, University Twente or TU Delft,  a registration at the other universities will be made automatically. 

For the following study programmes at TU Delft, there are different procedures for registration and payment of tuition fee: 

• BSc Nanobiology: register in Studielink an pay tuition fee at TU Delft
• BSc Clinical Technology: register in Studielink an pay tuition fee at TU Delft
• BSc Life Science and Technology: register in Studielink an pay tuition fee at TU Delft
• BSc Molecular Sciences & Technology: register in Studielink an pay tuition fee at Leiden University
• MSc Industrial Ecology: register in Studielink an pay tuition fee at Leiden University

For the abovementioned programmes an automatically exchange of payment will take place. You do not have to hand in a proof of payment of tuition fee.

2. Certificate payment tuition fees 

Are you enrolled at another institution of higher education (hbo or university) and do you also wish to be enrolled at the TU Delft? Hand in your original certificate (Bewijs Betaald Collegeld) showing that you have paid the statutory tuition fee. You can obtain this certificate at your current institution.

3. Exchange students

Students from a foreign university who enrol at TU Delft as part of an international exchange programme are enrolled for a maximum of 12 months. These students are exempted from payment of tuition fee at TU Delft. Do you wish to stay longer than 12 months in order to complete the Master’s degree programme? Then you are subject to the standard regulations regarding tuition fee, per the start of the 13th month of enrolment. Fees required from exchange students for visa and/or housing should be received by bank transfer before the deadline.

4. Scholarship

If you are granted a TU Delft-approved full scholarship which exempts you for paying the tuition fee yourself, you can ignore your payment details in Studielink.
