Tuition fees

Access to higher education is highly valued in the Flemish society and all initial bachelor's and master's programmes offered at public higher education institutions are subsidised by the Flemish government. This assures top-quality education for a relatively low tuition fee! There are some general guidelines for tuition fees, but all institutions do their own price setting. We recommend you check the exact fee for each study programme you are interested in.

General guidelines

Tuition fees for a full time degree programme of 60 ECTS for academic year 2025-2026:

  • EU/EEA nationals: €1.157
  • For Non-EU/EEA nationals: €1.200 – €8.000, depending on the programme

Students who pay regular tuition fees may also have to register for a credit contract or an exam contract:

  • Credit contract: €299 fixed fee + €14,30 per study credit (ECTS)
  • Exam contract: €136,50 fixed fee + €5,20 per study credit (ECTS)

Recognized refugees may, in certain cases, qualify for:

  • A reduction in tuition fees (scholarship rate);
  • An exemption from increased tuition fees for non-EEA student.

For more information, contact your higher education institution.

Please check your specific programme and the institution's guidelines for the exact registration fees. Below, you can find a list with links to the specific tuition-fee page of each Flemish university or university of applied sciences (and arts).
