TopTalent Programme | Sports & Culture

The UT TopTalent Programme is designed to help you combine two successful careers.

The TopTalent coordinator and study advisor help you adjust your learning pace, timetable and examination schedule to your training sessions and competitions where possible. You will also make arrangements on the number of required credits.

Custom-made tutoring
Once per quartile, you will make an integrated sports/culture- and study plan with your study advisor. This plan especially focuses on bottlenecks and solutions.
Free use of UT facilities
Athletes can use sports facilities (e.g. gym) free of charge. Artists can consult the subcommittee Top-level Sports/Arts for possibilities.
Payment of 4 grants
Only when recognized in category 1: payment of 4 grants per recognized academic year (one grant is 1/12th of the tuition fee paid of the academic year in question).

The Support Scheme for Top-level Sports and Top-level Arts (Regeling Ondersteuning Topsport en Topcultuur Beoefening) is part of the FOBOS (Financial Support for Special Circumstances of Students). To benefit from this scheme, you can be recognized by the CPO (Committee Personal Circumstances). To do so, you must submit an application to the subcommittee Top-level Sport/Arts, after talking to a student counsellor or Top Talent coordinator. This subcommittee handles your submitted application and advises the Top Talent Coordinator on the recognition.
