  • Your Bachelor's degree is (or will be) from outside the Netherlands and you have no Dutch degrees or previous Dutch education.
  • You meet the English requirement of your chosen programme.
  • You are fully admitted to an English-taught Master's starting 1 September 2027.
  • You can meet Dutch visa conditions and will enrol full-time.

Selection looks at grades, relevance of your degree, university ranking, motivation letter, reference letters and extracurricular experience. For two-year programmes you must pass all first-year courses to keep it.
