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 language and communication theory applied to business, with intercultural communication, professional English and an optional Spanish specialisation, and learn to analyse language and communication processes scientifically. Classes are small and interactive, and scenario-based projects, such as designing an advertising campaign or developing a marketing plan, apply the theory directly while building consultancy, report-writing and research skills. Study abroad, a minor and free electives are possible. Graduates work in multinational companies, government organisations, NGOs, consultancy firms and educational institutions.
What you need
- Any IB MathsMaths must be a final-exam subject; otherwise a maths certificate (e.g. SAT Maths 600+).
