Application procedure
Applicants must first register through Studielink, the central Dutch system managing higher education applications and enrollments. Here, you can choose the Maastricht University programme you wish to apply for.
As application processes vary by programme, Maastricht University offers a step-by-step guide on each programme’s "Admission & registration" page. This includes essential information such as deadlines, admission requirements, necessary documents and assessment details.
For students with non-Dutch diplomas, Maastricht University evaluates if these are equivalent to the Dutch pre-university (vwo) diploma, with a list of qualifying non-Dutch diplomas available online.
Additionally, check this list for specific subject requirements for certain programmes.
