Someone else is paying my tuition fee
When someone else pays the tuition fee, please fill in this form (academic year 2019/2020) and send it to contactcentre-ESA@tudelft.nl. This only applies to Dutch and EU-EEA students.

Digital (direct debit) authorisation is only possible when you have a bank account (not a savings account) in a SEPA-country and do not require any extra services from TU Delft.

Extra services include:

• assistance with your visa/residence permit and/or
• use of TU Delft’s housing service (only applicable to new international students who do not already live in the Netherlands).

Fill in your payment details in Studielink. When the location of your bank is in the Netherlands and your bank supports the digital (direct debit) authorisation, you will be redirected to the payment environment of your bank. If you are not redirected you will will need to enter your bank account number in Studielink.

When somebody else pays for you, please indicate this in Studielink.

Making changes to your payment details
You can make changes to your account number or payment method in Studielink. If you are unable to do so, please fill in this form and send it to contactcentre-ESA@tudelft.nl.

If you want to change your account number, you have to do it at least 10 days before the payment date. Otherwise your original account number will be debited.

Collection by instalments
Digital (direct debit) authorisation enables you to pay the tuition fee in monthly instalments. If you choose to pay in instalments, your account will be debited around the 23^rd  of each month, for each month you are enrolled.

A € 24 non-refundable administration fee will be charged each academic year with your first payment. If you would like to change your payment method after the first  payment and pay the remaining tuition fees in one go, you are still required to pay the administration fee.

Problems with you payment
If a payment is unsuccessful because your bank account balance is too low or is blocked, TU Delft will notify you. For more information, see the Student Charter.

Refer to the TU Delfts Liability and Conditions before you confirm the digital authorisation in Studielink.

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) at the Contact Centre 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.
