Application Process for Admission to Netherlands Universities

Before starting the application process, you must decide what type of higher educational institution in Netherlands you want to study at:

Research University
University of Applied Sciences
Institutes for International Education
University Colleges

Of these, the first two are the most popular options to study in the Netherlands. The difference between the two is that the former gives more emphasis to academic learning and the latter to practical learning. This is true in case of all subjects, not just for science.

The next step is deciding what type of course you want to join:

Associate Degree
Bachelor’s Degree

You must also choose whether to look for an English-taught or Dutch-taught program. The application process and deadlines will vary depending on which course(s) you are seeking admission for.

Another important factor that affects the admission process is whether or not you are seeking admission to a Numerus Fixus program. These are essentially programs at certain universities that have a fixed number of seats available, because they are high in demand. Some examples are:

Medicine
Psychology
Artificial Intelligence
International Business Administration
International Relations
Physiotherapy
Computer Science

These programs (usually Dutch-taught) have Decentralized Selection, with lottery-style degree allotments. They have earlier application deadlines and a stricter application process which may involve an exam or interview to assess the candidate’s skills.

How to Apply for Admission to Netherlands Universities

There are two modes of application - one through the common portal and the other through the individual universities’ websites.
