Cost of living
Getting an education costs money. On average €1100 per month. You will have expenses that are directly related to your studies. For example: tuition fees, study books, and other related materials. But living the life of a student costs money as well: housing, groceries, insurance and leisure activities. All fixed costs.
Your expenses will of course depend on your lifestyle. It is therefore impossible to determine the exact costs. However, to give you an idea, we have established a rough estimate ofthe average student spends per month. Please remember to take additional expenses into account, such as membership fees of student societies, fees for your mobile phone, internet and tv.
| Cost category | Estimate of average monthly costs € |
|---|---|
| Tuition fees | 160 |
| Rent, incl. gas, water and electricity | 350 |
| Groceries | 150 |
| Books and materials | 30 (this amount varies depending on your degree programme) |
| Insurances | 110 |
| Internet/TV | 40 |
| Clothing and personal care | 60 |
| Leisure expenses | 100 |
As you can see, studying and living on your own costs around €1000 per month. A large sum. Your student finance problably won’t be sufficient. Many students have a part time job to supplement their income. Please note there is a maximum amount you earn per year. When you earn more, you get less study financing. How this works is explained on the DUO website.
