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
The first years cover Business English, economics, marketing and sales and personal and intercultural development, and in the second semester you start and run a real company as part of co-creative entrepreneurship. Lectures sit alongside real-business projects and team case competitions, and year two offers electives such as data analytics for business and crisis management. In year three you choose one of five majors, such as International Marketing and Sales or Global Business Communication, and can spend a semester on exchange at one of over 160 partner universities. Year four brings an internship at an international organisation and a thesis. Graduates move into international business roles or entrepreneurship, or on to a master's.
