Deadlines

  1. 1 December 2026*

    Create your Studielink account
    Your own plan
    Details

    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.

  2. 15 January 2027, 23:59 CET

    Numerus fixus applications close
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Two numerus fixus programmes at most; medicine, dentistry, dental hygiene and physiotherapy allow one application per programme, so not medicine at two universities. Missing this does not cost you the year, but it does cost you every selective programme in it.

Worth knowing

TU Delft publishes its IB entry requirements in IB terms, in one table covering every BSc programme: no local scale and no conversion.

All 4 notes
  • TU Delft publishes its IB entry requirements in IB terms, in one table covering every BSc programme: no local scale and no conversion.
  • The university accepts only Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches at HL. Applications and Interpretation is not accepted at any level for any programme, and the page says so once, at the top of the IB table, rather than on each row.
  • TU Delft also states it does not accept students with an IB Career-related Programme certificate.
  • On 23 September 2026 the Aerospace Engineering selection pages still carried last year's procedure, and said the 2027-2028 setup will appear before 19 December 2026. The Computer Science and Engineering pages were already updated for 2027-2028.
