If you are an EU national, we need to receive your application at least 2 months before your course begins. If you are an non-EU national, we need it at before June 15th. (to allow time for visas and residence permits).
As soon as we receive your application form, the course managers will decide whether or not to admit you. You might be asked to an interview or pass an English language test.
If you’re successful, we’ll send you a letter of acceptance, with information about financial arrangements and how to find a suitable business or organisation for your project work.
Visas and residence permits
Many non-European Union students that want to stay in The Netherlands to study need an MVV (Provisional Residence Permit).
You don’t need an MVV (provisional residence permit) if you come from: member states of the EU or EEA, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea or Monaco.
If you need an MVV, you have to apply for the provisional residence permit through the International Office of The Hague University of Applied Sciences. More information on the process will be made available to you in the guide that you will receive together with your letter of acceptance.
If you live outside the European Union, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland you’ll also need to apply for a residence permit when you get to The Netherlands. We’ll send you more about this nearer the time.
