As a Dutch public university, Radboud charges regulated tuition rather than a private-school fee, and the amount depends on your nationality. For 2026/27, EU/EEA students pay the statutory fee — €2,694 for the full one-year, 60-EC programme — which is among the lowest of any serious MiM destination in Europe. Non-EU/EEA students pay the institutional fee instead: €18,873 for the year. So an EU/EEA applicant pays a nominal amount for a one-year AACSB-accredited master, while a non-EU applicant pays a mid-market institutional rate that still undercuts most elite private grande écoles. See where that lands in [how much a MiM in Europe costs](/blog/how-much-does-a-mim-cost-in-europe) and the [low-cost & tuition-free MiM guide](/blog/low-cost-tuition-free-mim-in-europe), and compare it with the other Dutch options in [the best MiM in the Netherlands](/blog/best-mim-in-netherlands). The real budget line for most students is living in Nijmegen; a non-EU student must also show proof of sufficient means for the residence permit, and can look at the [Radboud Scholarship Programme](/blog/dutch-scholarships-for-a-mim) and other [Dutch scholarships](/blog/dutch-scholarships-for-a-mim). These are the university's published 2026/27 rates — confirm the exact figure for your nationality on Radboud's own tuition pages, as they change each cycle.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Radboud University's MSc in Business Administration cost?
As a Dutch public university, Radboud charges regulated tuition, and the amount depends on your nationality. For 2026/27 the statutory fee for EU/EEA students is €2,694 for the full one-year, 60-EC programme — among the lowest of any serious MiM destination in Europe — while non-EU/EEA students pay the institutional fee of €18,873 for the year. So an EU/EEA applicant pays only a nominal amount for a one-year AACSB-accredited master, and even the non-EU fee undercuts most elite private grande écoles. These are Radboud's published 2026/27 rates — always confirm the exact figure for your nationality and specialisation on Radboud's own tuition pages, since fees change each cycle. Budget separately for living costs in Nijmegen, and note that non-EU students must show proof of sufficient means to obtain a student residence permit.
Is Radboud University accredited, and how is it ranked?
Radboud's Nijmegen School of Management holds the AACSB accreditation for its business programmes — one of the two leading international business-school accreditations. On the university as a whole, Radboud placed 154th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026 and 279th in the QS World University Rankings 2026, so it sits in the leading group of research universities worldwide. On the programme itself we are deliberately careful: the MSc in Business Administration is not listed with its own position in the Financial Times Masters in Management table, and we could not verify a specific QS Business Masters: Management rank for it, so — as we do elsewhere — we do not quote a programme rank we cannot source. Judge it on the university's standing, the school's AACSB accreditation, its cost and fit rather than a single league-table number.
