Check the admission requirements

If you woud like to apply for the bachelor’s programme in Creative Writing, you must first go through the admission process. Think of it as an introduction: during the admissions process, we will assess whether you meet the admission requirements, but it is also a good chance for you to discover if the programme is the right fit for you.

If you would like to take this programme, you must first apply for admission. The process is as follows:

Application → Admission → Offer of admission → Enrolment → Programme start

At the enrolment stage, you must meet all admission 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.
• You have received an offer of admission (positive result on your entrance examination).

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.
