How to apply?

Which bachelor’s programme would you like to study? Make sure you meet the admission requirements of that specific bachelor's. You can find them on the website of the bachelor’s of your choice.

Apply via the online platform Studielink by choosing a programme and a starting date. After your application via Studielink, you will receive an e-mail with login credentials for the OSIRIS application where you can upload your documents. If you want to make a second application, then use the Studielink account you already have.

Keep in mind the application deadlines. 

To start your online application procedure, you will need to upload several documents. We have prepared example documents to check the type of document you have to supply digitally. If any hardcopy documents are required, the University of Twente will notify you and tell you where to send them.

Continue your application via the Osiris application, using the login credentials provided to you via email. After you have logged in, you click on "details" behind your application to continue the procedure. If you wish to submit a new or additional application, you have to apply again via your Studielink account as it is not possible to apply via Osiris.

After you have submitted your documents, our admission committee will assess your application. We aim to inform you about your admissibility within two weeks after your application. This can take longer if your application is incomplete or additional information is needed to make an informed decision about your chances of success here. Should this be the case, we will contact you as soon as possible.

If you wish to monitor the status of your application, then log in to Osiris and click on ‘progress’ behind your application.

The outcome of the assessment will be one of the following possibilities:

1. ACCEPTED - You will be sent an e-mail with an admission notice together with instructions for the confirmation of your application.
2. CONDITIONAL - This means that you do not yet comply with all the requirements for the study programme of your choice. The correspondence sent to you will explain what further actions you need to take for final admission. You may be required to pass a further examination.
3. REJECTED - In some cases you may not meet the admission requirements for the study programme of your choice and your application will be rejected. This will be explained in the letter that is sent to you by mail. In some cases, you may become eligible after successfully completing the International Foundation Year through Navitas. If that’s the case, you will receive information about the procedure.

If have you been admitted, you will be asked to accept our Offer of Admission. Learn how to accept the offer in Osiris.

After accepting the Offer of Admission, the University will process your application.

You may be invited for a study choice check: a tool to find out whether the study for which you are enrolled is a programme that suits you. This matching procedure takes place, for instance, via an online questionnaire or an interview with a study advisor. Each bachelor's programme organises this in a different way.

Now the University is processing your application, you can arrange the payment of the tuition fees via Osiris and take the next steps such as planning your stay in the Netherlands, arranging your visa if necessary and finding accommodation in Enschede.
