Admission and registration in 5 steps

  1. Check the admission requirements and application deadlines

    Do you meet the requirements?

    Maastricht University (UM) assesses whether your prior education makes you admissible. Therefore, it is very important that you check on forehand if you apply to the requirements.

    You will receive a message once the UM has made the decision. There is also a possibility that additional documents are required to assess your prior education. This will be requested by e-mail, so keep an eye on your inbox.

    Please note: Click on “Admission requirements” in the dark blue menu on the left side of this page, to find out more about the requirements for this programme.

    Application deadlines

    Start September 2019

    • EU/EEA-students: up to and including 1 June 2019

    • Non-EU/EEA-students: up to and including 1 May 2019

    • Students who apply for a UM-wide scholarship: up to and including 1 February 2019

  2. Register via Studielink.nl

    Make an account and choose your programme

    Applying via Studielink
    You can register for a study programme via Studielink. In Studielink, you will have to indicate which programme you would like to register for. After registration in Studielink, you should start directly with step 3: Upload your documents.

    If you are registered in a Dutch municipality, you can only register using your DigiD. If you do not yet have a DigiD, you will need to request one. If you do not (yet) live in the Netherlands, you still register via Studielink, but you will not be able to use DigiD. Instead, you create a Studielink account yourself and UM will check your personal details.

    Apply for a DigiD  

    Application deadlines

  3. Upload your documents in MyUM

    Check what you need

    After you have registered in Studielink, you will receive an email from UM within 24 hours. This email contains your personal student number and a password. You can use this information to access the MyUM portal, the intranet of UM. 

    In order to complete your registration, you need to upload several documents via MyUM as soon as possible, at least before the application deadline.

    Please note:  If you accidently upload a wrong document in the MyUM portal, you can no longer remove it from your digital file. However, you can still upload the right document, but this does not replace the incorrect one. UM judges which documents are right.

    Required documents:

    • A recent passport picture: the passport picture must satisfy certain requirements.
    • A copy of your valid, on 1 September 2019, passport or your EU/EEA identity card: make a copy of the page with your personal details. Save this copy as ‘passport copy’ and not as ‘passport picture’. 
    • A copy of your most recent certified grades transcript and a copy of your certified diploma if you have obtained it. If you have not graduated yet, you can upload your official grades transcript from your bachelor programme.

    Please note: As a UM student it is not necessary to upload the above mentioned documents in the My UM portal. However, if your passport will not be valid on 1 September 2019, then you still have to upload a copy of your passport.

    Additional required documents:

    • Curriculum vitae (if applicable)
    • Letter of motivation (if applicable)
    • GMAT/GRE test (if applicable)
    • English language requirement (if applicable)

    Please note that the admission requirements depend on your nationality and previous education. Therefore, check the Admission Requirements to see which documents are applicable to you. Only complete applications will be reviewed. All documents should be in English.

  4. Continuation of the admissions procedure

    You (conditionally) meet the requirements and your application will be processed

    The Board of Admissions evaluates your documents and decides whether to admit you or not based on your quality and suitability. In this respect your motivation, level of statistics and mathematical courses, academic qualifications and internship and your professional experience are important factors in the selection process. You will receive the decision of the Board of Admission within 2-4 weeks after completion of your file.

    Message about admission
    Based on the documents you have submitted and the admission procedure for your chosen programme, the UM decides on whether to admit you. Once UM has made a decision on your admissibility, you will be informed about this by email.

  5. Complete your registration at the UM

    Fulfil all registration criteria and pay your tuition fees

    After you have successfully completed step 4 you will receive a request of Maastricht University (UM) to pay your tuition fees. 

    Please make sure you pay your tuition fees in time. If the tuition fees are not paid in time it is not possible to start your studies.

    Upload or send any documents still required
    If any of your documents are still missing, you will receive a message about this from UM. The documents concerned are listed in the message. Upload the requested documents as quickly as possible in the MyUM Portal, or send these by post to the UM if that is requested.
