Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hbo-master cost?
How much you pay depends on three things - your nationality, if you have a higher education diploma and the degree programme you’ve chosen. Read more about tuition fees here Tuition fees | The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
How long does a hbo-master take?
A full-time hbo-master usually takes one year. Some programmes can also be followed part-time. In that case, you spread your studies over two years. This allows you to combine work and study effectively. In both cases, you do not need to complete a pre-master.
Always check the degree programme page for the exact duration and admission requirements.
What title will I receive after completing an hbo-master?
