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 cultural expressions across visual arts, literature, pop and classical music, film, television and theatre, using theoretical, historical, political and social perspectives. Questions include what counts as art, how popular culture relates to society, and how Western and non-Western views differ. Classes are small, interactive and international, and the degree leaves room for a minor and free electives. Graduates work as programme curators for theatres or festivals, reviewers of books or films, or government policy officers, in cultural organisations, government, publishing, research institutes or education.
What you need
- The IB Diploma is assessed individually against the Dutch VWO. English A SL/HL at 4+ or English B HL at 6+ covers English.
