    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

Courses in entrepreneurship, business innovation, business fundamentals and statistics run alongside the Entrepreneurship in Action series, in which you apply entrepreneurial methods in real projects. Year one has two such projects, one on exploring opportunities and one on building solutions. Year two covers law, finance, leadership and ethics, creative problem-solving, and entrepreneurship in start-ups, established companies and social ventures. In year three you can study abroad, do an internship or take a minor, then choose a specialisation course and finish with a graduation project. Many graduates start their own company or join a start-up, or go on to a master's.
