Testimonials
Using global procedures in my daily life
Anthony Scott
“One of the many reasons why I choose European Studies is because of its broad perspective. When compared to other programs European Studies has a respectable reputation and during the programme you will be open to variety of different subject areas such as Business, Economics, Law, Politics and Communication. Also, as a foreigner from a non-European origin (Jamaica) I wanted to increase my knowledge about society, not just the Dutch community but more about the continent/globe.”

Admission requirements
You have a non-Dutch diploma
To enrol for the European Studies 4 year programme you will need a secondary school diploma comparable to a Dutch HAVO diploma and a good command of English.
For the assessment of your secondary school diploma, we generally follow Nuffic’s evaluations of foreign diplomas.
Bachelor’s candidates who are educated in the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, USA, Canada (Quebec only when the education language is English), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or Malta, or students holding a diploma (including English as an exam subject) stated on this diploma list, don’t need to take an English proficiency test.
All other prospective students are required to hand in a valid and sufficient language test.
Please check our Admission requirements for more information.
If you completed your prior education in another country than those listed above you might still qualify for exemption, if:
- you have an American or International High School Diploma, or
- you have a European or International Baccalaureate Diploma
Please contact the Enrolment Centre and ask for details.
If you have not quite reached the level you need to enrol for a degree but your results are promising, we offer an the Prep School programme, which takes six months or one year. On completion of this, you will not only be ready to join a bachelor's, but you’ll also have learned a lot about the Netherlands, The Hague and our university.
If you don't meet the minimum entrance requirements and you will be 21 or older as of the 31st of August 2018, the Admission Test offers you the opportunity to qualify for this bachelor programme. It tests your command of Dutch and English and also includes a programme-specific section.

Open Day
An open day is a great way to see our campus and meet current students, lecturers and our team of study advisors. You can also attend presentations by our lecturers. They’ll introduce you to our interdisciplinary and intercultural vision of ‘global citizenship’ and explain the different career paths that ES graduates typically follow. You can get overview of our courses and projects and speak with a foreign language teacher. Or find out about work placement opportunities and extra-curricular activities and map out where you’d like to go on an exchange.
