Cost of living

The cost of living is the main expense involved in studying in the Netherlands. But even here, the costs are unlikely to be higher than those involved in studying in the United Kingdom. Some cities are obviously more expensive than others, with Amsterdam being the most expensive destination.

The Dutch university year lasts roughly from 1^st September to 30^th June although students on one-year Masters programmes can expect to study for a full 12 months and need to budget accordingly. Two-year Masters programmes will typically follow the standard academic year.
