Language requirements
ArtEZ offers courses in Dutch and English. Language requirements apply for all courses.
These language requirements apply when you start your course in September 2024.
Language requirements, exemptions and language tests
Language requirements apply for all courses. Please see below for the situation that applies to you.

If you don't meet the language requirements in time, you cannot start a course at ArtEZ!
Begin on time
NB: If you don't meet the language requirements in time, you cannot start a course at ArtEZ! The requested language level is a prerequisite for starting the course. If you need to take a language test, be sure to start well in advance:
- it may take a while to get a spot and to get the results back. And fewer tests are administered in the summer months;
- you will have enough time for a possible resit;
- you will know sooner whether you can start your course;
- the ultimate deadline is 31 August, no exceptions. If you need a residence permit to study at ArtEZ, the deadline is even earlier, namely 31 May.
At most language testing centers, it is possible to do a modified test (for example related to visual impairment or dyslexia) by requesting this when planning your test. Make sure you do this in time, because there is often less availability for these tests.
