Dutch educational qualifications

If you have obtained or will obtain a VWO diploma or a propaedeutic diploma from a university of applied sciences (HBO-p), then you can be admitted if you meet the following requirements:

A VWO diploma of the profile Culture & Society is accepted for direct admission only if Mathematics A or B has been concluded with a satisfactory mark. Should you not take Mathematics A or B, then you are conditionally admissible and need to do a CCVX test, Boswell-Bèta test, OMPT-A test, or OMPT-B test in Mathematics A or B;
  • an HBO-p is accepted if a certificate of a CCVX test, Boswell-Bèta test or OMPT test in Mathematics A or B has been obtained, with a satisfactory mark. An English language certificate is not required when the first year at the university of applied sciences has been completely in English.
  • you do not have to obtain an English language certificate if you obtain (or will obtain) a VWO diploma (but should you have one, you could include it when applying).

International educational qualifications

If you have completed or will complete a study programme outside of the Netherlands, then your previous education will be assessed on an individual basis to determine whether it is of sufficient level.
