    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 treat business processes as systems that can be analysed, modelled and improved, using mathematics, data science and AI models. The core covers occupational and organisational psychology, operational management, product innovation and information systems, alongside statistics, data engineering and an ethics course on the impact of technology. Teaching includes field trips, company partnerships, a multidisciplinary challenge-based project in year two and many electives, half of year three, to broaden or deepen your studies. The degree ends with a final project at an external organisation, where you answer a research question about a business case.
