Check out the admission requirements

On the page of the study programme in our database, the admission requirements are also specified. Admission requirements are set by the institution of your choice in the Netherlands. They may vary by programme too. However, there are some general admission requirements at most institutions.

Check out important deadlines

Application deadlines in the Netherlands vary per institution and study programme. So always make sure to check the exact deadline with the institution of your choice.

Start the admission process

To qualify for a scholarship you have to hand in an admission offer from the institution OR proof that you are in the process of being considered for admission. This is why you first need to apply for a study programme, before you can apply for a scholarship.

Apply for the scholarship

Take into account that you have to hand in some documents, such as a motivation letter or English test results. So start collecting and writing these documents in time!
