Create your Studielink accountYour own planDetails
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
Year one covers all the subdisciplines, including neuropsychology, social, developmental, work and organisational and clinical psychology, cognitive neuroscience, research methods and statistics with practical training groups. In year two you learn to turn a psychological question into a study, then choose one of the majors: Work and Organisational Psychology, Psychological Methods, Brain and Cognition, Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology or Clinical Developmental Psychology. Year three starts with a bachelor's thesis and then lets you take a second major, a minor such as communication science or law, or an exchange. English and Dutch tracks share the content.
