Who is eligible to apply?

Fees and charges 

Luiss students will remain enrolled at Luiss during their time at Tilburg University and will continue to pay their tuition fees to Luiss. Starting from the 2026/27 mobility year, the following Tilburg University tuition fees will also apply during the mobility period: 

  • Students who are EU or EEA nationals and who do not yet hold a Dutch Master's degree are required to pay the statutory tuition fees. Subsequently, Luiss students will receive a scholarship from Tilburg University equal to the amount of the statutory fees. 
  • Non-EU/EEA nationals and students with EU/EEA citizenship who already hold a Dutch Master's degree are required to pay the institutional tuition fees. However, students will benefit from a reduction and will be required to pay 70% of the amount set for the institutional tuition fees. 

Both the statutory fees and the institutional fees are published on the Tilburg University website. 

Qualifications awarded  

Upon completion of the programme, students will be awarded a Master's Degree in Finance from Luiss and a Master's in Finance from Tilburg University.
