Note: if your enrolment for the first bachelor's or first master's overlaps with your second bachelor's or second master's for at least one month (or more), you do not need to pay the institutional tuition fee 2. Then either the statutory fee or institutional tuition fee 3 applies to you.

tuition fee as a NL/EEA/SME1 student. As a non-NL/EEA/SME1 student with
both the first and second master's at WUR you do not have to pay tuition fees for the 2nd master's as long as you are not finished with your 1st master's. After graduation in the first master's you will pay institutional tuition fee 3 for the second master's.
