Colloquium Doctum assessments

Colloquium Doctum assessments

The Colloquium Doctum allows you to be admitted to a university Bachelor’s programme if you are 21 or older and do not have the necessary degree for the programme of your choice. 

Radboud in’to Languages provides the Dutch and English assessments for the Colloquium Doctum. The particular assessments that you need to pass for admission depend on the degree programme you wish to enrol in and your previous education.

If so, please send an email to admissions [at] ru.nl (admissions[at]ru[dot]nl), stating your student number, name, and the desired assessment.
