What happens after admission?

Once you have been (conditionally) admitted to an English-taught programme at VU Amsterdam with your non-Dutch diploma, there are steps you need to take to make sure you complete your enrolment in time and do not miss out on any of our essential student services.

Make sure to check the step-by-step information below for deadlines and guidelines to help you complete your enrolment. 

Please note: different deadlines and steps apply to the Bachelor's programmes in Psychology, Computer Science and Biomedical Sciences. Check the webpage for programmes with a Numerus Fixus for more information. 

Questions?

Send an email to your International Student Advisor(s) if you have been (conditionally) admitted for one of our English-taught degree programmes with a non-Dutch diploma or degree. Your International Student Advisor(s) can help you with any questions about the admission requirements or practical matters related to being an international student at VU Amsterdam.

If you want to speak to your International Student Advisor over the phone you can book a telephone meeting (limited availability) - we will then call you on the provided phone number (make sure to include the country code with your phone number!).

Are you applying for one of our Dutch programmes with a non-Dutch diploma? Then you can contact our Student Desk.
