As the Advanced Diploma is not a 3 year degree programme, the course is not eligible for any kind of student loan. We are however an CRKBO-approved short vocational education: therefore, it is possible to deduct a part of the tuition fee as study costs of your income taxes. This means that the actual costs of the course can be significantly less, depending on the tax bracket you are in.
I AM AN INTERNATIONAL (NON-EU) STUDENT, CAN I APPLY TO ABBEY ROAD INSTITUTE?
Unfortunately Abbey Road Institute is not currently able to sponsor Visas for international students. You will only be able to study with us if you do not need a study Visa to study in the Netherlands, or if you already have a different kind of resident or working permit. However, we do our best to help international applicants from outside Europe with their visa arrangements!
If you have dual nationality and hold an EU passport you can apply to study at Abbey Road Institute in Amsterdam.
