Note that your current nationality is leading, even if you have a Dutch or European residence permit. You can check via the website of the Dutch government if you have an EEA nationality. When your nationality is not on the list, you have a non-EEA nationality. The visa/residence permit procedure only starts after accepting your Offer of Admission, be aware of those deadlines as well: When receiving your rank on 15 November, you must accept the Offer of Admission on the same day, in order to start arranging your visa in time, see: Visa deadlines (utwente.nl)

Candidates that have not been selected will be placed on the waiting list, in the order of their position on the placement list (by ranking number). Candidates will sequentially be placed in the PCPT specialisation as long as places are vacated, until the 19^th of December 2025 at the latest depending on the visa deadlines applicable based on your nationality. Please check your e-mail (including spam folder) regularly (=preferably daily) from the 15^th  of November until the 19^th of December, because if we inform you about a placing offer from the waiting list, you need to inform us within a short period of time (one or two weeks) if you will accept our offer for a place in the PCPT specialisation.
