Dutch Diploma (VWO)

If you have a Dutch vwo diploma, you can be admitted to the Bachelor's programme. All profiles are accepted.

Dutch HBO-diploma

A Bachelor's degree or first-year certificate (propedeuse) from a Dutch university of applied sciences (hbo) also gives you access to the Bachelor's programme. It is an advantage if you have studied mathematics at vwo level, including statistics. If you haven't, we recommend taking a mathematics course to help you prepare as well as possible for the programme.

Level of English

As the programme is entirely taught in English, you must meet the English language requirements. The specific requirements depend on your previous education. Please check the language requirements for international students. For Dutch students, English at vwo level is sufficient.

If you have questions about the admission requirements, please contact our Admission Office.

You can sign up from October onwards.
