Deadlines

1 December 2026*

Create your Studielink account

Your own plan
Details
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.

Numerus fixus applications close

Hard deadline
Details
Two numerus fixus programmes at most; medicine, dentistry, dental hygiene and physiotherapy allow one application per programme, so not medicine at two universities. Missing this does not cost you the year, but it does cost you every selective programme in it.

Last day to keep your right to a place (programmes without selection)

Equal consideration
Details
Apply by 1 May and you are entitled to admission to a non-selective programme you qualify for. The government says a first application after 1 May may be refused - the programme can still take you, but does not have to. Some institutions set earlier dates of their own, and theirs is the one that binds.
Studielink closes at 23:59 on 1 May. The government’s rule is what makes it an equal-consideration date: apply by 1 May and you are entitled to admission to a programme you qualify for ("Aanmelding tot en met 1 mei betekent ook recht op toelating"); a first application after 1 May "kan door de opleiding geweigerd worden" - the programme may still take you, but it does not have to. Some programmes close earlier for capacity or matching reasons, and the programme’s own date is the one that binds.

All 2 notes

The IBIS institute code 034892 is published on the admission page of RSM, Erasmus's business school, for graduated applicants who want their IB results verified electronically. RSM publishes it; the university itself does not.
As of 23 September 2026, both Erasmus pages describe the 2026-2027 round. RSM says its September 2027 requirements will be finalised by 1 October 2026; Erasmus School of Economics says no rights can be derived for following academic years. So check both again in autumn 2026; no 2027 figure is given here that the source did not state.
