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

Year one introduces facility management as the creation of sustainable, innovative work environments, with service management from the customer view and human resource management. Year two focuses on service innovation and spaces in hospitality, health or sustainability, using design thinking. You work on projects with real clients, in living labs with researchers and entrepreneurs, for example on indoor climate in workspaces, and on field trips. Year three has a five-month internship as assistant manager and a minor or exchange abroad, and year four ends with a graduation project. Graduates work as facility, event, sustainability or operations managers, hospitality managers or consultants, or move on to a master.

What you need

The IB Diploma meets the HAVO-level entry for 4-year programmes and counts as VWO-level for the 3-year ones. It also exempts you from the English test.
