Costs

  • Tio is a private university of applied sciences, so the statutory Dutch fee does not apply. The EU tuition fee for 2027/28 is €24,950 a year, plus a one-off €250 enrolment fee (€25,200 in the first year). The fee includes study materials, the third-year study trip, projects and exam fees. A €5,000 tuition deposit, credited against your fee, is required before Tio arranges housing. You can pay in one sum or in 12 monthly instalments. Tio says fees may be indexed each year for inflation. Optional extras: introduction days (€350) and a wine study (€650).
  • EU students may be eligible for a Dutch tuition-fee loan (DUO).
Open-entry course: if you meet the requirements, you get a place. Tio is private and charges about €25,000 a year, far above the standard Dutch fee.
