Admissions

Studielink

Incoming bachelor’s students are first required to register via the Studielink website. The deadline for this is 31 August, but students are advised to do so before 1 August.


First read more about how Studielink works.

Please note: For University College Maastricht and Maastricht Science Programme different application deadlines apply! For more information on the different dates please check the University College Maastricht and Maastricht Science Programme faculty pages.


Other registration deadlines occur for the following students

  • Students with an EU diploma that is comparable to a Dutch VWO diploma (pdf, 16 Kb) (please also check the additional requirements (pdf, 50 Kb) that may apply to your diploma), are recommended to register before 1 August 2012.
  • Non-EU students who need a visa to study in Maastricht or students whose diploma is not included on the list of VWO-comparable diplomas (pdf, 16 Kb) should start the registration procedure before 1 April 2012 (or as soon as possible thereafter) in order to meet the deadline. This is because the visa application and diploma evaluation can take several months.

Different deadlines apply for numerus fixus programmes. The following Maastricht University programmes have a numerus fixus:


My UM portal

Once you have registered in Studielink, you can manage your enrolment at Maastricht University via the My UM portal using the UM login details that you received via Studielink.


We recommend that you use Internet Explorer for this.


You can find out more about UM’s enrolment procedure via the step-by-step plan.


Please note:

  • Since September 2011, it is no longer possible to enrol in a study programme part-way through the academic year. For programmes that start in September, you will only be able to start in September; only for programmes that also have an official February start will it be possible to start in February. Exceptions may only be made in particular cases.
  • The tuition fees that different students are required to pay can vary considerably. Factors such as your nationality, place of residence, and whether this is your first or second study programme all play an important role. Please consult our click model to find out exactly how much you will need to pay.
  • You need to pay your tuition fee or return the direct debit authorisation form within two weeks after receiving the email regarding payment. If we do not receive your payment and the required documents in time, you can not be properly enrolled and will not be able to start your study programme!
    You can find information about paying your tuition fee here.
  • In the past, it was possible to postpone your graduation after having completed your studies to, for instance, do an internship or do a minor. Due to a change in Dutch law, as of 1 September 2010, you graduate automatically as soon as you obtain the necessary ECTS and meet possible additional exam requirements. As of the academic year 2011/12 it is therefore no longer possible to postpone your graduation.

N.B. You can submit your request for study financing via the DUO website.

Non-EU students need to have a visa in order to study in the Netherlands. The UM Visa Office will get in touch with all incoming students from non-EU countries in order to assist you with the procedure. If you have questions about this, please send an email to visa@maastrichtuniversity.nl
