Attention! New methods of application at Dutch universities from October 2007!

You can now apply with following on-line enrolment wizard: Studielink. The previous form of application via IB-Groep falls, but notice that not all universities take part in the new application system. Please, read this page till the end, for your good.

Studienlink is a central collecting point of all applications, but not every university and college is a part of it. In case you applied via Studielink for a university, which does not participate in the new system, you will be informed about it. If so, you may be asked to make an additional application via respective university website.
A registration via IB-Group is since October 2007 therefore not possible, but this institution is still responsible for application for scholarships, financial aid from the Netherlands and Collegegeldkrediet, as well as for the language examinations NT2. You will find more information on this topic in our submenu.

Information included in the application will be forwarded from the Studielink to IB-Group, but as already mentioned, no direct application can be made by the latter. Studielink is thus an upstream neighbour tool with following advantages:

	you can apply for enrolment direct on-line, whether in English, German or French
	your studielink-account enables you a better overview of applications you made
	an application can be made and deleted, easily.

Methods of application

1. Central application via Studielink

First, you have to register at Studielink (button “apply for user name and password”). After you have agreed with the conditions, you will be asked on your personal data. You have to give in your individual user name, sign in your e-mail address and mobile phone number. At this point, some disabilities may occur. German telephone numbers are longer than the Dutch ones. For this reason, a correct entry is not possible. The Studielink has already been informed about this error. In case of need, shorten your mobile number. As soon as you have confirmed the data and have sent it off, will you receive an e-mail with a password. This password enables you to log in at Studielink and to make an application for chosen study programme.

To make an application, you have to use the button “log in” and give in your user name and password, which you received in your e-mail from Studelink.

The following application can be easily explained in eight steps. You make an application for matriculation, give in appropriate personal data and choose one study programme. Here, you have to choose a place you want to study at. A search over study programmes does not work, yet. After you have given in the place, a list of study programmes offered there will occur. Using your log in, you have a stable access to your data.

But, be careful: for the reason that not all universities and colleges take part in this project, informs you the Studielink about it. If so, you may be asked to make an additional application via respective university website. Some links to the universities do not work satisfactorily. Via Google you can reach the university you meant easily by giving in its name in the search. Your data will be forwarded to the IB-Groep anyway, and from there, transferred directly to the university.

2. Additional, direct application at chosen university.

In some cases, an additional application via university website is necessary. The university, on its own decides, if you fulfil the criteria for the specific study programme. Some courses of study require a specific subject-combination in your high school diploma (e.g. Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary) or even a qualification examination, to which you have to apply direct at the university (e.g. Arts and Design or Logopedics). By the study programmes, which are thought in Dutch, a language certificate is needed (NT2 or ITN). As far as English-speaking study programmes are considered, a certificate in English has to be provided (IELTS or Toefl). Some universities offer language courses for their students within classes.

More detailed information on admission requirements can still be found on the universities’ websites!
