    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 study sport management, marketing, finance and sport psychology, together with research and advice methods, running projects and personal development. About half the classes are practical sport sessions and half are theory lectures, and year one includes two international field trips. Three internships are built in: a 10-week operational placement in year two and two 20-week strategic placements in year four, at sport organisations in the Netherlands and abroad. Year three adds a professional specialisation and a minor, and the degree ends with a thesis based on a graduation project. Graduates work in the international sport industry or continue to a master's such as Sport Business & Leadership.

What you need

  • Numerus fixus (96 places): apply by 15 January 2027; selection by a video and an online interview with an oral exam. Sport medical exam (€130) before you start.
