Check the admission enquirements

If you want to apply for the bachelor’s programme Creative Writing, you first need to go through the admission process. Think of it as an introduction: during the admission procedure we assess whether you meet the admission requirements. It is an important moment for you to get a feel for the programme and discover whether it truly fits you.

Application requirements

You can apply for admission if you meet the following requirements:

• You hold a Dutch HAVO, VWO or MBO 4 diploma, or an equivalent international diploma.
• You meet the language requirement: you must be able to understand, speak, read, and write Dutch at the B2 level. If you graduated from a Dutch-speaking secondary school and Dutch is your native language, you automatically meet this requirement.

Have you attended school abroad, or is Dutch your second language? Read more about how you can meet the Dutch language requirements.

If you have an international educational qualification or are unsure whether you meet the requirements, please contact the Student Affairs Office.

You can reach the Student Affairs Office at studentaffairs@artez.nl. You can also call us: from Monday to Friday, the office is available between 09.00–12.00 (Dutch time) at +31 (0)26 353 56 50.
