UCM/MSP Tuition fee waiver
At University College Maastricht (UCM) and Maastricht Science Programme (MSP), we want to prevent that the tuition fee amount becomes an obstacle for talented students to enrol at Maastricht University. We recognise that some applicants from EU/EEA countries may be unable to pay the UCM/MSP tuition fee, which is higher than the national tuition fee set by the Dutch government. We therefore offer a tuition fee waiver for these applicants to cover the difference between the two fees.
