Study at HvA

When you make the preparations for your stay in the Netherlands it is important to know what kind of expenses you should expect. Information about the tuition or course fees, daily expenses, scholarships, and other financial matters can be found on these pages.

To assist international students in finding appropriate accommodation, the HvA cooperates with housing corporations. It is a challenge to find suitable accommodation, and therefore it is important to arrange your accommodation as soon as possible.

If you are going to study in the Netherlands as a foreign student, you may need to apply for a Visa ‘Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf’ (MVV) before arrival. An MVV is only an entry document. Once arrived in the Netherlands you will need a Residence Permit (VVR). to make your stay legal. Your MVV application must be handled by the International Office of the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, University of Applied Sciences; you cannot apply for it yourself.

Please check before you come to the Netherlands whether your insurance will cover the complete period of your stay abroad, and what type of coverage you have.

These pages will provide you with the information to start the process of living in the Netherlands and studying at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, University of Applied Sciences.

During the open days, teachers and students will tell you all about the programme you’re interested in.
