Die Radboud University ist eine öffentliche Hochschule.
HeyStudium erklärt: Es gibt staatliche und staatlich anerkannte Hochschulen, die meist in Universitäten, Fachhochschulen (international: University of Applied Sciences) und Kunst- sowie Musikhochschulen unterteilt werden. Der überwiegende Teil der Hochschulen wird durch die öffentliche Hand (Bund und Länder) finanziert und befindet sich daher in staatlicher Trägerschaft. Dort fallen nur geringe Semesterbeiträge an. An den privaten Hochschulen hingegen, die sich über private Trägerschaften finanzieren, können zusätzlich Studiengebühren anfallen. Einen Weg, die finanziellen Hürden dieser Hochschulen zu umgehen, können zum Beispiel Stipendien darstellen. Es gibt außerdem Hochschulen, die von der protestantischen oder katholischen Kirche betrieben werden.
