They will send the BBC to the student administration of the University of Groningen directly.

The Board of Examiners or Admissions Board of the faculty will determine whether you are admissible. If you are admissible, the Board of Examiners or Admissions Board will fill in the second section of the aforementioned form and send this to the Student Information & Administration (SIA) department with the other required documents.

Please note: you are responsible for ensuring that your enrolment request and the BBC are received before the first of the month in which you want to start.
