In that case you should apply through this link as a secondary course student. You can then enrol for one or multiple courses at VU Amsterdam. You do not need to apply through Studielink (as for complete study programmes). 

Please note: You need to be a student at another Dutch educational institution in order to follow secondary subjects at VU Amsterdam. You can contact the Student Desk for questions about your application.
