How to get in
We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for Netherlands — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the Netherlands guide.
Studying in Netherlands
Indian students go to the Netherlands for a large catalogue of English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes, shorter master's (often 1 year), and research-university strength in engineering, business and life sciences. The student itself does not apply for the residence permit — the admitting institution applies on the student's behalf.
- Visa
- Student residence permit (institution-sponsored); MVV entry visa where required
- After graduating
- Orientation-year residence permit: 1 year, EUR 254 fee, open to those who completed an accredited bachelor's/master's at a Dutch institution within the last 3 years, an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's within 3 years, a post-master's (10+ months) within 3 years, or a degree from a university ranked in the top 200 of the QS, THE or ShanghaiRanking lists within 3 years (the last group must also show English proficiency, e.g. IELTS 6.0+). Holders may work freely without their employer needing a separate work permit.
