Make a life in Netherlands
In the Netherlands, much of student life takes place in the city rather than on a separate campus. Academic, sports and international associations such as ESN bring students together. Cycling works well for short journeys, while trains connect city centres. Museums, canals and natural spaces offer ways to spend your free time. Student housing is in short supply, so start arranging accommodation well before your arrival.

Plan for the whole experience
Study in NL estimates living expenses at around EUR 1,000–1,500 per month. Budget separately for tuition; location and room type strongly affect monthly spending.
- Tuition & study
Non-EU/EEA tuition usually differs; use the exact fee listed for your programme.
- Everyday budget
Separate rent, food, insurance and travel; compare cycling with public transport for short journeys.
- Getting started
Some institutions charge application handling fees; include these alongside initial housing expenses.
- Funding & budgeting
Check each scholarship’s amount and duration; the NL Scholarship, for example, does not cover full tuition.
Figures are estimates from official guides; confirm current amounts with your institution and accommodation provider.
Admission & student visas for Netherlands
Dutch institutions set admission requirements and have a direct role in student residence applications. Start by choosing an eligible course and institution.
- Admission & enrolment
Check qualifications and language requirements; this permit requires a full-time accredited course and an IND-recognised sponsor.
- Documents & preparation
Prepare identity and funding evidence for the institution; foreign documents may need translation or legalisation.
- Visa & residence process
Your institution submits the residence application and, where needed, the MVV entry-visa application to IND.
The route and documents depend on your nationality, course and circumstances; check the official current checklist before applying.
