Higher education options
Research universities offer academically and research-oriented programmes. Universities of applied sciences focus on professional practice and applied learning. Compare the curriculum, degree structure, and entry criteria rather than choosing by institution name alone.
Admission and language requirements
Institutions set their own qualification and programme requirements. Check how your diploma is assessed, any subject prerequisites, and the selection process. English-taught programmes require accepted language evidence; the institution determines the test types, scores, and any exemptions.
How to apply
Read the official programme page first. Many applications begin with Studielink, but the institution may require additional steps or a different route for international applicants. Complete all required institutional forms and document submissions; a registration alone may not complete your application.
Tuition and living costs
Non-EU/EEA fees differ from the statutory fee that applies to eligible students. Check the exact programme tuition and any application or handling fee directly with the institution. Plan for housing, deposits, daily expenses, insurance, and immigration costs. Scholarship eligibility and coverage are award-specific.
Intakes and timing
Confirm the available intake and exact deadline for your programme and applicant category. Selective programmes may have earlier deadlines. Allow time for institutional checks, housing arrangements, and the residence process.
Residence permit overview
For the higher education student residence route, the educational institution applies to the IND on the student’s behalf. The institution must be an IND-recognised sponsor and the programme must meet the relevant requirements. Follow its document and funding instructions and check current IND guidance. Admission does not guarantee residence approval.
Common questions
Is a Studielink registration the whole application? Not necessarily. Follow the institution’s additional requirements and communications.
Will every institution accept the same language evidence? No. Verify the programme’s accepted tests and required results.
