Student's budget
Example of a student's monthly budget(€ 920 in total):
Housing: €500
Food: €180
Health insurance: €40
Clothing etc.: €100
Miscellaneous: €100 (transport, social activities)
Living expenses and other costs
You will need approximately € 1.500,- to cover initial settling-in expenses. The cost of living and study, including food, accommodation, transport, books, and obligatory health insurance is estimated to be between € 850 and € 1.100,- per month.
Study and work
Although Dutch law allows foreign students to work part-time while studying, it stipulates that income from employment should be 'additional'. This means that you should be able to finance your studies without working.
EU/EFTA students are permitted to work an unlimited number of hours
As an EU/EFTA student you are free to work as many hours as you like during your studies. Your employer does not need to have a work permit for you.
Non-EU/EFTA students are allowed to work up to a maximum number of hours and must have a work permit
Non-EU/EFTA nationals are allowed to:
-work a maximum of 10 hours per week, or
-3 months full-time during June - August
Please note that your residence permit will be retracted if you work more. A work permit, to be applied for by the employer, is compulsory for non-EU/EFTA nationals.
Health insurance is more expensive if you work
Be aware that you are no longer entitled to student health insurance (premium approximately € 40,- per month) if you are working. As an alternative, you should get coverage under an employees health insurance programme (premium approximately € 95,- per month).
