Explanation of study costs

Note: Students without a European IBAN bank account have to open a Dutch bank account. As this may take a few weeks, these students are advised to bring a credit card or cash, 500 to 700 euros,  for expenses in the first month.

Part-time Online master's

The part-time online master's programmes at Wageningen University may take 3 or 4 years to complete, depending on how you want to do your thesis and internship. The general structure is a 2 year part-time course programme of 30 credits per year, followed by a tailor-made internship in year 3 and a master's thesis agreement in year 4. If you are able to spend approximately 40 hours per week in the third year on your internship and thesis, you can finish the programme in 3 years.

You can find the tuition fees for EU/EFTA and Non-EU/Non-EFTA students for the online master's programmes on the page about tuition fees. The travel and accommodation costs for the Wageningen Weeks are not included in the tuition fee and in the estimate of costs. Incidentally you will also need to buy a book for a course that is not included in the tuition fee.
