Tuition fee payment: your employer is paying

Employers can choose which payment method they prefer.

• Payment of the full amount of the tuition fee by means of a bank transfer, with your surname and student ID number included in the payment description (for example: Jansen 12345678).
• Payment by means of an invoice that you request as a student.

Important information

• You are personally responsible for ensuring that the amount is paid on time. 
• You should ensure in any event that the UvA receives your payment no later than the day before your programme starts.
