Other study costs

In addition to your tuition fees, you will need to include a number of other study costs in your budget, such as books, stationary, excursions, a laptop or other equipment. These costs vary per programme but academic books and study materials will usually cost you between €50-100 per month.

Additionally, this programme includes conducting fieldwork. You are expected to cover (most of) the expenses for the fieldwork, which can vary depending on the location. 

Living costs

Keep in mind that living in Amsterdam also includes costs such as accommodation, food and public transport.
