Living and other expenses

The cost of living and study, including food, accommodation, transport, books, obligatory health insurance is estimated at € 700 per month. In addition, you will need approximately € 1,500 to cover initial settling-in expenses.

Study and work

Although Dutch law allows foreign students to work part-time while studying, it stipulates that income from employment should be 'additional'. This means that you should be able to finance your studies without working! Non-EU/EFTA nationals are allowed to work a maximum of 10 hours per week or 3 months full-time during the summer holiday period that falls in June, July and August.

Please note that your residence permit will be retracted if you work more. A work permit, to be applied for by the employer, is compulsory for Non-EU/EFTA nationals. Any employment you find should fit in with your studying schedule.

Finding a (part time) job is not easy. Job centers (uitzendbureau's) may be willing to mediate in finding part-time jobs for students in the business and industry sectors. However, jobs are not always available and you may also come up against a language problem; most employers prefer personnel who speak the Dutch language fluently.

You should also be aware of the fact that when working you are no longer entitled to a student health insurance (premium approximately € 40,- per month) but instead should take a employees health insurance (premium approximately € 85,- per month).
