Costs

  • Tio is a private institution, so the standard Dutch statutory fee does not apply. EU/EEA tuition for 2027/28 is €24,950 a year plus a one-off €250 enrolment fee (€25,200 in the first year). Tio says the fee includes study materials, the third-year study trip, projects and exam fees, and may be indexed each year for inflation. EU/EEA students also pay a tuition deposit (€5,000 for 2026/27), which is later deducted from the final tuition invoice. You can pay in one sum or in 12 monthly instalments. Optional extras include introduction days (€350) and a wine course (€650). Repeating a year costs 50% of the tuition fee.
  • EU students may be eligible for a Dutch tuition-fee loan (DUO).
Open-entry course: if you meet the requirements, you get a place. At Tio, places are given out in the order people register, so apply early.
