Enrolment requirements
Before you make an enrolment request,
please take a look at this page to view the application requirements.
After you applied for the bachelor programme of your choice, the Enrolment Centre will assess whether or not your previous education allows you to study (the bachelor programme of your choice) at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
If you do not meet the minimum requirements, and are 21 years or older, you can still apply to one of our bachelor programmes.
Click here for information about our 21+ Admission Test.
Note: you can only apply for the 21+ Admission Test if you
don't need The Hague University of Applied Sciences to apply for a residence permit (for the Netherlands) for you. This means participation in the 21+ Admission Test is
not possible for non-EU/EEA students that do not already hold a Dutch residence permit.
Enrolment steps
1. Create a Studielink account
All prospective students have to apply for enrolment via
Studielink.
Students with a Dutch address
If you have a Dutch address, and you are enrolled in a Dutch municipality, you'll have to log in to Studielink using DigiD.
Note: if you’ve already used your DigiD to log into Studielink before, please proceed to
step 2 directly.
If you do not own a DigiD, request it first and make sure your DigiD is activated before you follow the steps below. You can request a DigiD at
www.digid.nl. (There you’ll also find more information about applying and activating your DigiD). You need your Dutch Burger Service Nummer (BSN) to request a DigiD. (If you forgot your BSN, you can request it at the city hall.)
Students with a foreign address
If you don't have a Dutch address, you'll have to log in to Studielink with a Studielink account.

Agents
Students applying for a bachelor programme from
countries with our representatives are advised (but not obliged) to apply through one of our
agents. However, all the Chinese students applying for the
English language preparatory programme have to apply through an agent.
The Hague University of Applied Sciences pays a fee to agents for their services. The agents can also charge a fee to students for services they offer. The costs depend on the services offered by the agent and differ from country to country. If you wish to apply through an agent, please contact the agent of your choice for accurate information about the costs.
During the enrolment process through Studielink you will be asked if you are registering through an agent. If so, the steps below will be taken care of by your agent.
Attention:
Agents must use
the email address of prospective students to apply for enrolment!
Agents should
not use
their own email address!

Verifying your eligibility (students with a non-Dutch diploma)
After you applied through Studielink for the bachelor programme of your choice, you’ll receive a student number of The Hague University of Applied Sciences (via Studielink, by email).
If you ever contact the Enrolment Centre, please mention your student number.
Please send us the following items by using this
form (mentioning your student number):
- a clear copy of your passport showing personal data and expiry date
- a clear copy of your diploma(s)/certificate(s) and certified English translations*, accompanying diploma scores/grades per subject/discipline (in English)
- proof of command of the English language
- a clear copy of your residence permit** (front and back)
* If you haven't yet obtained the diploma/certificate giving access to the bachelor programme of your choice, you must send us a statement from your school, in the Dutch, English, German or French language, where the name of the diploma and the expected date of graduation is stated. We can then check in advance if you would qualify and if it is appropriate to start and facilitate your application for the programme.
** If applicable.
If your diploma was issued outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you will always need to show your original diploma and grade list upon arrival at the Enrolment Centre. If you fail to do this, you cannot be enrolled.
For diplomas issued in the European Economic Area (EEA), we accept certified copies of the diploma and grades list. However, if there is any doubt about the validity of your diploma, we may ask you to show your original diploma and grades list.
Offer of student position
After you have applied for enrolment in Studielink and the Enrolment Centre has received the required documents, you will be informed on your eligibility to the programme of your choice in approximately two weeks. Please note that if the Enrolment Centre is not able to assess and/or verify your diploma, it will take longer before you receive information on your eligibility.
When you meet the eligibility requirements you will receive a so-called ‘offer of student position’ (letter of acceptance) from the Enrolment Centre both by mail and by email. Please note: if you have applied through an agent, this package will be sent to the agent's office.
