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 the English language and linguistics, literature from English-speaking regions, including classics of high and popular culture, and the culture, history, social relations and customs of Great Britain and other English-speaking communities. Teaching is fully in English, with a strong focus on language development and communication skills, and the degree includes study abroad and hands-on internship experience. You follow either the English Language and Culture pathway or the American Studies pathway. Graduates work in communication, education, and culture and heritage.
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.
