When do applications open and close? If you wish to enrol in a bachelor's, submit your application before the deadline.
Application deadlines depend solely on your nationality. You should be able to provide valid (not expired) identity documents for each nationality to be registered within our system. If you have multiple nationalities, use the most beneficial nationality as your first nationality to determine your application deadline and tuition fees. To check if your nationality qualifies as EEA or non-EEA (visa required), visit the Dutch government website.
You can always apply even when you still have to graduate. Most of the prospective students are still in their last year of high school when they start their application. Please be aware that you need to be graduated in the school year prior to the start of the academic year.
Some bachelor’s programmes have deviating deadlines due to decentralised selection, mandatory matching, or selection activities. These deadlines apply to all students, regardless of nationality or educational background. Be sure to submit your application before the relevant application deadline.
Your nationality determines the application deadline, not your residence permit. For example, if you have Mexican nationality but a Dutch residence permit, your application will follow the deadline for Mexican nationals.
Make sure to check your deadline based on your nationality. UT will verify your residence permit to ensure it is valid for your studies. If a new study visa is needed, UT will apply on your behalf, and therefore you must follow the relevant visa application process and deadlines.
During your application, upload a copy of your current residence permit (front and back) in addition to the passport of your nationality, when asked for your identity document.
