Before you start your application, first check the admission requirements on the programme page of the programme you wish to apply for.
To complete your application, please download and complete the 'VU Application Form - Bachelor' format below.
Please note: you do not have to send original documents when applying. For the application phase uploading scans of your previous education documents is sufficient.
Although complete applications are preferred, you can begin your application before you have completed the test and then submit your passing score once you have been conditionally admitted.
Most Bachelor's degree programmes have adopted VU Study Choice Check. The application process includes a check to assess whether the programme is really suitable for you. You do this with VU Study Choice Check, which consists of a mandatory questionnaire in the VU Dashboard and (for most degree programmes) an online activity for which you will be invited via e-mail.
Are you curious if you meet the admission requirements for one of our programmes? For some of them there is the option to fill out the online Student Self-Check tool - prior to applying - to find out more about your chances to be admitted.
You are asked to upload these documents in the application portal in your personal dashboard on vu.nl.
This dashboard can be accessed by logging in with your VUnet-ID username and password.
