Dutch HBO-Propedeuse (first year achieved at a University of Applied Sciences)
Holders of the Dutch HBO-Propedeuse (abbrevation HBO-P) certificate are not directly admissible to a Bachelor's programme of the University or Twente. Please see for your information the Dutch Education system provide by Nuffic.
The University of Twente closely reviews all applications individually due to their distinctive nature. Therefore, the only way to determine admissibility is by submitting an official application for enrolment via Studielink and providing all required documents in Osiris. After you have done so you will be informed about your admissibility by one or our admission officers.
Note: the admission office reserves the right to make the final decision regarding the admissibility of your application. The admission requirements mentioned are for your information only.
Documents required for application
For your application we need several documents. During your application we will ask you to upload these documents. If you have already attained the HBO-P we need a copy of your HBO-P certificate and transcript of records. If you still have to complete the HBO-P we need a recent transcript of records and a list with all of the first year subjects.
Not the required subject or level?
If you do not have the required subject or the correct level you can do an additional test(s). The University of Twente only accepts certificates from CCVX, James Boswell or the Dutch so called 'Officieel Staatsexamen'. The test must be passed with a 6 or higher and have to be taken before the start of the academic year (1 September).
