About Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is a Public university in Europe, ranked #185 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.
Indicative tuition: EUR14,310–EUR34,440 / year · Scholarships can reduce this — we confirm what you qualify for, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for Dutch research universities in this band, a bachelor's in a closely related subject — subject match is taken seriously — with a strong average (many programmes look for roughly 65-70% or a first class); IELTS is usually 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each band, and some programmes ask 7.0. A four-year Indian degree such as a B.E./B.Tech is the cleanest fit; three-year degrees are assessed individually and are often not enough for direct entry, and a pre-master's or bridging year is offered only by some universities, so confirm before you apply. Almost all master's aimed at international students are taught in English. Requirements vary by programme — Vibedu confirms the exact ones for you, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Tuition + living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, €). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in €, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from € at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
