Tuition and additional fees
Studying costs money, we cannot ignore that. If you are going to live in student housing you must also take rent, insurance and all daily shopping into account, in addition to your tuition fees, the purchasing of books, lecture notes and manuals.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees are legally defined and change every year. You will find the current rates in the blue box on this page.

Laptop and software
TU Delft offers you a wide range of hardware and software, as well as granting you access to both the wired and the wireless network. The wired network is particularly useful if you are working with large files. Through the University’s laptop project you can buy a laptop at a discount and download a wide range of software at competitive prices.
Textbooks
You can expect to spend between €250 and €750 per year on textbooks. However, they can often be purchased at a discount from student society VSV 'Leonardo da Vinci'. The lecture notes and manuals you need to purchase for your degree programme are considerably cheaper.
Living costs
In addition to the costs of studying itself, you will also incur living costs, especially if you are going to live in student housing or by yourself. TU Delft has investigated how high these costs are on average per month for students in Delft. This resulted in the following numbers:
- Student living in student housing: €909 per month
- Student living at home: €290 per month
Note: These numbers are based on average calculations and may vary by lifestyle and living situation. The calculations of these numbers can be found here.
