    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

There is no fixed major: you design your own curriculum from courses across fields such as politics, psychology, data science, environmental studies and media, and the offer changes each year with student interests and current events. Classes are small and international, and the emphasis is on thinking across disciplines and reasoning independently. Professional and Personal Development is compulsory in the first year, and Community-Engaged Learning links coursework to local organisations. Students live in a close-knit residential community in Middelburg. Graduates go into sustainability, law, business, public health, politics and data science, or on to graduate study.
