Admissions <a id="admissions" name="admissions"></a>
Have you decided to apply for one of our programmes? Good news: none of them have a numerus fixus. We do however have a selective admission procedure, meaning you have to pass the Board of Examiners and an interview.
Pre-bachelor's programme
For motivated, international students who want to enroll for our bachelor's programme but who do not meet the entry requirements, Maastricht University offers the Foundation Programme. Succesful completion of the Foundation Programme will make you eligible for University College Venlo.
