    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 international management together with psychology and sociology, communication and economics, law, marketing, human resources management and strategy, with a focus on responsible and sustainable organisations and entrepreneurship. The aim is to understand how organisations create social and economic value, and you build research skills for critically assessing scientific knowledge. A flexible semester in year three lets you follow your own interests, with optional study abroad and international internships.
