Step 1: How to apply

For information on applying online for a Master's degree programme of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, please visit our Admissions Guide. Read the instructions on the different application steps carefully.

The first step you need to take if you decide to apply is register on Studielink. Studielink is the national database for admission to higher education in the Netherlands. From 1 October onwards, Studielink will open for new registrations.

How can you apply?

Your application will consist of three steps:

1. Studielink - You will first register online in the national online registration system, called Studielink. All Dutch higher education institutes use this same programme. Application for the upcoming academic year is possible from October onwards.
2. The Progress Portal - After Studielink, your request will then be forwarded to the Progress Portal of the university. This system allows you to upload digital copies of your application documents and offers you the opportunity to keep track of the progress of your application.
3. Individual assessment - Upon submitting your application the Admissions Office will verify and assess your admissions request. In case you are eligible for entry, you need to be registered as a student. This involves providing the University with your certified proof of graduation, a photograph for your student card and payment of your tuition fee before the start of the programme.
