    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 early years build international finance and economics, management accounting, international business law and corporate finance. Each period pairs two theory courses with a group project run with the Scrum method, and in year two you take on cases for real companies. Year three includes exchange at a partner university and an internship at an internationally oriented organisation in the Netherlands or abroad, with minors and an honours programme as options, and year four ends with a graduation research project. Graduates become financial managers, business analysts, controllers, management accountants, treasury managers or entrepreneurs, or continue to a master such as Business Studies.

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.
