-
What are the admission requirements for my country?
For both programmes, you’ll need a high school diploma. Most EU diplomas and international school diplomas are accepted, and we don’t require specific subjects or grades. This is typical in the Netherlands: even with lower grades, students are generally admitted. The idea behind this is that anyone with a high school diploma should have the opportunity to pursue higher education. That said, not everyone who is admitted will successfully complete the programme.
In addition to your diploma, you will often (though not always) need to provide proof of English proficiency.
For the Global Project and Change Management programme, we also ask you to submit a motivation statement and invite you to a get-to-know-you interview.
-
Do I need IELTS/TOEFL, and what scores are required?
You need a good level of English, both written and spoken, to be successful in the programme.
- For some countries/diploma’s(opens in new tab), this level is already guaranteed, so you won’t need to take a language test.
- For other countries/diplomas you can check the details here. Depending on the programme, we accept Cambridge B2, IELTS (6.0 or 6.5), or TOEFL (80 or 90).
-
Is it difficult to get accepted?
If you have the right diploma, meet the language requirements, and are motivated, getting in is straightforward.
