Go to studielink: https://app.studielink.nl/front-office/ (or select the UK flag on www.studielink.nl) and log in with your username and password (or DigiD if you are registered in the Netherlands). If you haven’t already done so, you can set up your account on this page first. 

Under the header “My To Do List” you will find “Submit your payment details”. 

You will be asked to fill in details such as the account number, the name of your bank, who will be paying, if you want to make a single payment or payment in instalments. 

Continue filling in the required details until you have clicked on “Confirm”. 

If you have any questions while submitting your details, you will find answers to most of your questions in the Q&A section on the Help section on the website of studielink.  

If you use the option: “I will pay” you will receive a message in Studielink to authorise the direct debit yourself. Only then the authorisation will be definite. If you use the option: “Someone else will pay” you will receive a mail which you must pass on to the person who will be paying. They can log in using their user name and password and confirm that they will be paying your tuition fee. 
 
Please note that the dates of the instalments mentioned in Studielink are not correct. You will find the correct dates above under 'Paying in instalments'.
