Entrance requirements
This three-year programme is very intensive, and taught entirely in English. Taking the ICM programme is just like having a full-time job. Before you apply, you should consider that carefully.
To apply, you must have:
If you have a Dutch diploma
You’ll need a vwo diploma, for which so-called profile requirements apply. Please see
this page (in Dutch) for the specific entrance requirements.
Note: if you have obtained a HAVO/VWO/MBO 4-diploma in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St. Eustatius or St. Maarten, this will be treated as a Dutch diploma.
If you have a non-Dutch diploma
We’ll need to assess your secondary school certificate, before we decide on your eligibility. To make sure your certificate is judged fairly, we work together with NUFFIC, an organisation specialised in comparing international qualifications.
English language skills
In case you do not hold an English secondary school diploma (diploma granted in a non EEA country) or you have not taken English as an exam subject (diploma granted in the EEA) prior to your enrolment for an English Bachelor programme, you must show an IELTS or TOEFL test. Contrary to what Studielink tells you, you have to register for this test yourself.
