Am I admissible with my pre-university VWO diploma?

Your pre-university VWO diploma admits you to a Bachelor's degree programme, unless the programme asks for specific requirements. Check the page of your degree programme for any additional requirements.

When you do not meet the requirements for the degree programme then you will need to resolve the deficiencies by passing the relevant tests at pre-university final-exam level. 

Please note: this information applies to students with a Dutch VWO-diploma. If you are applying with a non-Dutch diploma, see the admission requirements here.

Pre-university education diploma (VWO) obtained before 2010?

Were you awarded your pre-university diploma before 2010? Although the requirements remain the same, when you apply in Studielink you will receive the notification that your previous education cannot be verified. You will need to send a certified copy of your diploma and grade list by post or hand it in at the Student Desk.
