    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 business economics, corporate social responsibility, production technology, process analysis and improvement, and data analysis. Learning happens through group assignments and projects at technical companies in the region, followed by a compulsory internship and a graduation project with industry partners. You choose one of five specialisations: Automotive and Mobility Management, Commercial & Organisational Excellence, Operational Excellence, Smart Industry, or Sustainability Excellence & Regenerative Design. The Brainport Eindhoven campus is shared with the Eindhoven University of Technology and has ties to companies such as ASML, Philips, VDL and DAF. Graduates work as supply chain coordinators, project managers or quality engineers.

The IB Diploma is named as giving access. Many programmes also want satisfactory maths grades, engineering also physics or chemistry, with no IB grade set. An IB Diploma usually exempts you from an English test.
