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
The first year pairs mathematics and statistics courses with economics and business courses, and runs alongside the Improving Society Lab, where you apply econometrics to real problems such as optimising medical treatment or distributing humanitarian aid. From year two you add asset pricing, stochastic operations research models and communication skills. In year three you specialise in one of the three main fields of econometrics, and can spend six months on exchange abroad, and the programme closes with a bachelor's thesis. After a master's, graduates work as supply chain specialists, quantitative analysts or business intelligence specialists.
