What to check
- Tuition is €17,000 per year — among the highest for the region; budget must be planned carefully.
- RU students can only apply via the Moscow embassy; no confirmed third-country application option exists.
- SWIFT transfers to the Netherlands are blocked for Russian residents; tuition payment requires workarounds.
- BY students have no confirmed standard visa pathway; contact IND directly before applying.
- Delft is a small city — limited local job market during studies despite work rights of 16 h/week.
Accommodation
€650-1100/mo private — 3-day application window is critical. DUWO runs most student complexes. Delft market tight due to proximity to The Hague.
