Sign up for Psychology

As from 1 October 2024, you can apply for the Bachelor’s programme Psychology at University of Twente via Studielink, until ultimately 15 January 2025 (23.59 CET). After this date it is no longer possible to apply. Whether you choose the English or Dutch-taught track: in both cases you sign up for the same Bachelor's in Psychology. Before you start your application, it is important to check the admission requirements to see whether you are admissible.

When you apply for a programme with a numerus fixus you can apply for the same study programme at two different universities only. Furthermore, you can choose to apply for up to two different study programmes with an intake restriction per academic year. More information about numerus fixus programmes in the Netherlands can be found on the website of the Dutch government.

Studielink is the registration system used for higher education in the Netherlands. Please check which steps to take in order to apply for a numerus fixus programme.

Once you have applied via Studielink, you will receive an invitation from the UT by e-mail to proceed with the application process through the system OSIRIS. In OSIRIS you have to provide the required information and upload all necessary documents step by step, which guides you to your possible (conditional) admission to Psychology at the UT. Via OSIRIS you will also be asked to choose for the English or Dutch-taught track.

Please note that the deadline of 15 January also applies for completing the application process in OSIRIS. Therefore we strongly advise you to start your application well before this date. When you are an international candidate you are recommended to do so ultimately 30 November 2024, in order to be able to provide the university with the needed documents in time and to know whether or not you are admissible for the selection procedure in time.

To not miss out on any important information, make sure to check your mail as well as spam folder on a regular basis.

For the academic year 2025-2026 there are 450 places available for candidates who want to start studying Psychology at UT. Assigning these places will be determined by your performance during a selection procedure. Please note that the selection procedure takes place once per year and you can take part in the selection procedure for this programme no more than three times.

When you (conditionally) meet the admission requirements for the Psychology programme, you will receive an invitation by e-mail from the programme for the selection procedure in the first week of February. The selection procedure consists of three components that will evaluate your skills for and fit with Psychology at UT: an online matching assignment, an online written test on scientific psychology literature and an online written test about methods and statistics. Your performance on all three components will result in an individual ranking number. Your individual ranking number can be found in Studielink on 15 April 2025. If you have a ranking number up to the maximum total number of 450 available places, you will be offered a place in the Psychology programme. You need to accept this offer within 14 days in order to secure your place.

Find out about our selection procedure and important dates.

After participation in the selection procedure and getting assigned a place, you need to take care of finalising your enrolment, for example providing certified copies of your recently obtained diploma(s). Follow the information and corresponding deadlines applicable for Psychology and instructions communicated by the university.
