Academic Dutch Plus
The Academic Dutch Plus language course is open only to VU students pursuing a Dutch-language bachelor's or (pre)master's degree.

Admission
You can register for the course via the registration form. Part of the application is a motivation letter. In this letter, describe what kind of texts you have to write for your programme (e.g. answers to open exam questions, short essays, research reports, thesis) and what problems you encounter with regard to writing. Also describe what you expect from the course: how can the course contribute to improving your writing skills and the successful completion of your studies?

If you have been referred to the course by your study advisor, lecturer or tutor, please state their name on the registration form. You can ask them to write the motivation letter for you. Unlike in previous years, official permission from a study advisor is not required.

Students with Dutch as a second language
For students with Dutch as a second language, the minimum entrance requirement is the State Exam NT2-II. If you have not taken the State Exam NT2-II, but the intake shows that you are still at B2 level, you can still be admitted to the course.
