Application → Admission → Positive decision → Enrolment → Programme start

At the enrolment stage, you must meet all admission requirements:

• You meet the language requirements: you must be able to understand, speak, read, and write English at a high enough level to follow your classes. You can meet these requirements if you have a valid language certificate. There are also other ways to meet the requirements: for example, if you have completed a prior programme taught in English, or if you passed English as an exam subject as part of your HAVO or VWO diploma. Read more here about how you can meet the English language requirements.
• You received a positive result on your entrance examination (you have been admitted).
