For this accelerated combined route, you pay the statutory tuition fee only once per academic year. You do not need to pay separately for the bachelor’s and the master’s programme. In many cases, you will pay the standard statutory tuition fee. Have you previously completed a teacher-training programme or a healthcare programme? If so, you may need to pay the institutional tuition fee. Curious what your tuition fee would be?
Books and study materials: during the programme you will work with various books, readers and materials. Keep in mind that there will be additional costs for things like printing, art materials and research materials.
You will take part in three excursions during the programme, for which you will pay a personal contribution.
If you are going to follow a teacher training (education in art) programme, there are often more ways to pay for your studies than just with regular student finance. DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs) has various schemes for students who want to become teachers. You can find everything clearly laid out in the selection guide ("Keuzewijzer”) on the DUO website. Below is a summary of what might be possible. Some of these schemes are only available to Dutch or EU citizens, or under specific conditions.
If you’re pursuing a HBO bachelor for the first time, you will likely be eligible for the standard student finance: a basic grant, supplementary grant, loan, and the student travel product.
If you no longer qualify for student finance (including a loan or student travel product), you may still be eligible for the teacher allowance, which you do not have to repay. Check the DUO website for the conditions.
If you are already working in education and you hold a teaching qualification (such as a completed PABO or teacher training), you may qualify for the teacher scholarship. This helps cover tuition, study costs, and travel. In some cases, your employer can receive subsidies so you can get study leave.
If you already have a HBO or university degree and now would like to pursue a teacher training programme, you may be eligible for an additional year of student finance. This could be in the form of a grant or loan and gives you access to the student travel product for that year.
Are you no longer eligible for the above schemes and still need to pay for (part of) your studies? Then you can borrow money through the Lifelong Learning Credit. This is a loan from DUO on favourable terms.
