Admission requirements Psychology

Have you decided to sign up for the Bachelor’s programme Psychology at the University of Twente (UT)? Check the admission requirements below to be sure that your application will succeed. Please take into account that Psychology has an intake restriction for the English track and as a result participating in a selection procedure is needed. For the Dutch track, participation in the mandatory matching procedure is required.

Admission requirements

You are admissible if you have an international secondary school diploma equivalent to the Dutch VWO (pre-university education) diploma. For example:
- Belgium’s Diploma van Secundair Onderwijs
- International or European Baccalaureate.
You can find a list with equivalent diploma per country here.
Have you completed your final exams in Germany and do you hold the Abitur? Then you are generally eligible for admission. Check the admission requirements for this Bachelor's programme.
If you have a Dutch VWO diploma, you can be admitted to the Bachelor's programme. All profiles are accepted.
A Bachelor's degree or first-year certificate (propedeuse) from a Dutch university of applied sciences (HBO) gives you access to the Bachelor's programme if you also obtained a havo diploma. 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.

The Psychology programme is offered in two tracks: a (fully) English track and a Dutch track. You choose your track during the application process.

If you choose the English track, you must meet the English language requirements. These depend on your previous education. Please check the language requirements for international students.
If you choose the Dutch track, you must demonstrate a sufficient level of Dutch in addition to meeting the English language requirements.
