That’s why the three-year International Financial Management and Control programme trains you how to become the beating heart of any business and improve the world you live in.

Admission recommendation

You have a non-Dutch diploma

IFMC is intensive. You’ll need to be highly motivated and independent to take this programme. You’ll have to do an interview to determine if you have the right qualities as part of the admission process. If you can’t attend an interview in person, we’ll set up a telephone or Skype interview. Before we can decide on your eligibility, we’ll need to assess your secondary school certificate. To make sure your certificate is evaluated fairly, we work with NUFFIC, an organisation that specialises in the assessment of international education qualification.

If you meet our admission conditions, you’ll be invited to attend an interview. This interview will last 30-45 minutes and will be conducted in English. We’ll then decide whether you have the right qualities to join the IFMC degree programme. Once you have applied via Studielink, THUAS will handle your application and let you know if you are successful as soon as possible. We admit a limited number of students to IFMC, so it’s important that you register as soon as possible.
English is strongly recommended for MBO students. The most suitable profile for either HAVO and VWO is E&M.
This programme is taught entirely in English. You’ll need a good command of the English language, both spoken and written.

Bachelors 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 entry requirements for more information.

 

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 want to apply for this programme but you don’t have the required subjects in your HAVO or VWO profile, please check Entry requirements for further information.
If you’re 21 before the 1 September 2019 but don’t have a diploma or a qualification that meets the entry requirements, you can take the 21+ Admissions Test. The 21+ Admissions Test will be offered at several dates in Spring 2019 and consists of a general capacity test. Please note that you can only participate if you have an EEA-nationality or residence permit for the Netherlands that is valid on the test date.
If you received a HAVO diploma before 2009, or VWO diploma before 2010, your diploma will be assessed individually to see if you qualify for admission. If you have any questions, you can contact the Enrolment Office by completing the contact form.

There are no exceptions to the official admission requirements. The Enrolment Office is the only party that can make decisions regarding your qualification for admission based on official regulations. You can’t rely on any other sources of information for your qualification for admission.

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 an European or International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Please contact the Enrolment Centre and ask for details.
