    Not an official deadline. With a Dutch address you log in with DigiD, which the government says takes about five days. Without one you upload a scan or photo of your passport or EU identity card and Studielink verifies it automatically. Either way, do it well before 15 January.

What it is

You start with the foundations of the fashion industry and a personal and professional development line, then work towards one of three specialisations: Fashion & Design, Fashion & Branding or Fashion & Management. Teaching is built on practical assignments and projects, with at least 16 contact hours a week in year one, coaching throughout, and collaboration between students from different specialisations. Sustainability, diversity and digitalisation run through the curriculum. Years three and four add an internship and minor electives, and the programme works with companies from the fashion industry.
