Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The course page lists a 1 September 2027 start.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • This is not the statutory EU fee; the university determines fee status.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The NL Scholarship is a competitive EUR 5,000 first-year contribution, not a full-cost scholarship.
  • The reviewed Groningen call concerned 2026/27 and closed on 1 February 2026; a 2027/28 application window was not verified.
  • Do not reuse that past closing date as an upcoming deadline.
