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 tackle complex 'wicked problems' such as poverty, migration, climate change and humanitarian emergencies from an organisational and management angle, combining organisation and management studies, human resource studies and sociology. Year one adds social psychology, and year two brings philosophy and international law plus a simulation in which you join a humanitarian emergency response team. Courses include Wicked Problems 101, International Organizations and Advanced Project Management. In year three you do a project internship with an internationally active organisation, an exchange abroad or minors, and write a bachelor's thesis.
