Maastricht is a public university, so tuition splits sharply by nationality. EU/EEA students pay the Dutch statutory fee — about €2,694 for 2026/27 — while non-EU/EEA students pay the institutional rate of roughly €21,500 a year (it varies slightly by specialisation). As a one-year master, that single year is the full programme cost. For EU students in particular the statutory fee makes this one of the best-value top-100 MiMs on the FT table; non-EU applicants should budget for the institutional rate and check scholarship options.
Tuition for the Maastricht University Master in Management is €2,694/year (EU/EEA) · ~€21,500/year (non-EU/EEA), 2026/27 for the 12 months program.
