Phase 1: Studielink application

Phase 2: Admission

Allow UM to assess if you meet the admission requirements

MyApplication portal
To allow UM to assess whether you qualify for admission to the study programme of your choice, you need to complete a number of tasks in the MyApplication portal, the online environment in which the rest of your application process will take place. All the tasks you need to complete, such as uploading certain documents, will be presented here in a clear overview. You can log into the portal using your username/UM student number and the password you have created (your login name and an explanation on how to create your own password are provided in the email you received from us after your application in Studielink).

Make sure you fulfil the tasks indicated in the MyApplication portal on time. This means that you should upload documents as soon as you have finalised them and/or have them in your possession. The sooner you complete a task, the sooner we can give you feedback if you need to add or correct anything. Please pay attention to the deadlines indicated, as they can differ per study programme.

Once you have completed all of your admission tasks, your application dossier will be assessed by the Admission Officer.

Correspondence about your application
From now on, you will receive important information and calls to action regarding your application in the message inbox in the MyApplication portal. We recommend that you regularly log in to the portal to make sure you stay updated. However, we will also notify you of important changes via the email address you provided to Studielink. 

Phase 3: Enrolment

Arrange the practical matters required to start your studies at UM

Once you have been offered a place in the study programme of your choice, you need to arrange your enrolment. The tasks you need to complete to be enrolled are listed in the MyApplication portal under ‘Enrolment tasks’. 

Pay your tuition fees
Every applicant will need to pay their tuition fees. More information on how to go about arranging your tuition fee payment will be provided by the MHPE Office.

Please also make sure that you pay your tuition fees in a timely manner. Otherwise, you will not be able to start with the MHPE programme.

Allow UM to verify your diploma

Dutch diplomas
Did you acquire the diploma on the basis of which you have been offered a place in your study programme in the Netherlands? Then DUO will pass on their verification of your diploma to UM. No further action on your part is required.

Non-Dutch diplomas
Did you acquire the diploma on the basis of which you have been offered a place in your study programme outside of the Netherlands? Then you will need to send a certified copy of that diploma.

Have you completed your prior education outside of the Netherlands and will you not receive your diploma before the start of your study programme? Then you can send a certified graduation statement.

Make sure all application and enrolment tasks are fulfilled
UM can only enrol you if you have completed all the tasks in the MyApplication portal. Please make sure this is the case, so that your application and enrolment can be completed and you’ll be ready to start preparing for the MHPE programme as soon as possible.

Confirmation of Enrolment
When you have been enrolled for the MHPE programme, you will receive confirmation of this from the MHPE Office.

UM email account
Your private email address will only be used to inform you about the application and enrolment process. Your UM email address will be used for all further communication once you start with the MHPE programme.

MHPE-LMIC Scholarship

Applicants to the MHPE program from Low Income and Lower Middle Income (LMIC) countries* can apply for an MHPE-LMIC Scholarship. This scholarship supports the applicant’s participation in the program by waiving 25% of the program fee to be granted in two installments: one at time of admission to Year 1, one at time of admission to Year 2. Applying for the MHPE-LMIC Scholarship includes a 750 words application letter detailing their motivation for participating in the MHPE program, and how they expect to be able to apply what they have learned to their local educational and/or clinical context. Additionally, a letter of support from their institute for participating in the MHPE is requested. Granting the scholarship at admission to Year 2 is dependent on sufficient engagement and progress in the first year of the program. Engagement and progress are assessed by the MHPE assessment committee as well as the student’s coach who each provide a letter of support to the student in their re-application for the scholarship.

The application for the MHPE-LMIC Scholarship should be sent by following the steps in the Studielink Application.

NB a maximum of 5 scholarships will be granted each academic year for new applicants only. 

*The School of Health Professions Education follows the classification as published by the World Bank. Access the most recent version here.
