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 human behaviour, mind and emotion: how the brain controls behaviour, how people develop from infancy to old age, and how environment and social context shape thinking, action and feeling. Research areas are Brain & Cognition, Development & Mental Health, and Behaviour & Environment, and practical research is part of the training. From year two you choose more of your own courses, and in year three you can study abroad, for example in Australia, Japan or South Africa. Graduates work in aid, education, human resources, public policy, counselling, training, coaching, sport and advertising.
