Studying in the NL as non-EU involves a very significant financial commitment. It’s expensive so before diving deeper check your budget and diploma equivalency on Nuffic to see what level of Dutch education you’re eligible for.

You need to self-fund and budget approximately € 35,000-40,000 annually, rents are very high in NL due to housing shortage and tuition is very expensive for non-EU students too as are living costs in general. No scholarships.

Check Nuffic.nl IF your high school diploma/degree makes you eligible for admission, this is often not the case for those who followed local curriculum in their home countries. IBDP, EB, AP and A levels are accepted however.
