Non-EEA students: How to apply for a study programme taught in Dutch

Below you can find a full description of the application procedure. Please read all the information carefully before you start filling in the application form! You are advised to start the procedure 6-12 months in advance, since some steps require a lot of time. Furthermore, learning Dutch can take up to a full academic year for absolute beginners.

Step 6: Send your application form and documents

Only after the university has received proof of your proficiency in English and the payment of the application fee should you print your application form and send it together with all the required documents.
Please note that application forms sent before confirmation of the fulfilment of steps 4 and 5 will not be taken into consideration!
Please follow the link at the bottom of this page to fill in the application form.

Step 7: Register for a Dutch language course

Within approximately six weeks you will receive a letter with the results. If your preparatory education is sufficient you will receive an invitation for the Dutch course, which you will receive separately from the letter of acceptance. If your preparatory education is not sufficient, your documents will be returned to you together with a letter of non-acceptance.
