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 programme looks at how a large global organisation is run and how it relates to the world around it. Year one covers finance and investment, international strategy, human resource management, marketing, mathematics, statistics and programming, plus how AI and data change business. Year two adds management accounting, global sustainable leadership, cross-cultural management and ethics. In year three you specialise through a minor, a semester abroad or an internship, and write a thesis in a business discipline. After a master's, graduates work as consultants, supply chain managers or business analysts, with alumni at firms such as PwC, ASML and ABN AMRO.
