EU/EFTA students

All European students indicate their method of payment via Studielink. As of 1 May, a new task will appear in your ‘To Do’ list. Here you can choose for your digital authorisation.

The payment deadline is 31 August, however, we strongly advise you to confirm your payment earlier. As soon as you have confirmed the digital authorization, we consider your payment done. As soon as you meet all other enrolment criteria, you will be enrolled and your WUR account will become available (as of 1 July).

By conforming your digital authorisation, you give Wageningen University & Research permission to collect the tuition fees from your bank account. In that case, you have met the payment obligation immediately, despite the fact that the amount is not debited until 27 September. Therefore, do this as soon as possible, but no later than 31 August!

If you choose to pay in multiple instalments an administration fee of € 24,- applies. The administration fee will be deducted together with the first instalment.

If you withdraw your (request for) enrollment at Wageningen University & Research before 1 September, the digital authorisation will be cancelled.

Also an official Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees (BBC) can be made long before your money actually will be deducted from your bank account.

Wageningen University & Research has a large community of students. Finding a room in Wageningen or the surrounding area is not always easy. Most students in Wageningen rent a room through Idealis (the main student housing cooperation in Wageningen), but you can also choose to search for a room yourself through other channels.

If you live further away than 130 km from Wageningen, you can get priority at Idealis. As a prospective student at Wageningen University & Research you can register and apply for rooms at Idealis via ROOM.nl. Note: it is very important that you pay your tuition fee at Wageningen University & Research on time! Only after you paid your tuition fee, you can apply for a room with priority based on your home address. All information about how to arrange your accommodation can be found here.

The best start to your studies is to participate in the Annual Introduction Days (AID). Every year, around 95% of all new students participate in the AID and we make sure there’s something for everyone in the program to make you feel at home and get acquainted.

During the AID, you will get to know the University, your fellow students, all the students organizations, the city and all that Wageningen has to offer. You’ll be guided by two current students that will make you feel at home in Wageningen and answer your questions. For more information and registration go to the AID website.
