Tuition fees

As Hotelschool The Hague is a state-funded school, the costs for the bachelor’s programme are significantly lower than other renowned private hotel schools.

Hotelschool The Hague is part of a programme called ‘Ruim baan voor talent’ (Make way for talent), initiated by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture & Science. It gives certain universities of applied sciences, including ours, the scope to charge higher tuition fees on the grounds of demonstrable added value for students. Our added value lies in the following areas:

Our institution’s international character;
Our students’ ability to achieve personal growth;
Our students’ ability to handle complex problems;
Our institution’s favourable position in the labour market.
