In order to make sure that you have an adequate command of the English language you will have to pass a test. These are the so-called TOEFL- or IELTS-tests. If the language of instruction during your previous education was/is English or if you are a European Union-national with English as subject during your previous education, you are not required to take a TOEFL- or IELTS-test. To be eligible for the course, you must have achieved an overall IELTS Academic Module score of 6.5, an internet-based TOEFL score of 92, a computer-based TOEFL score of 237 or a paper-based TOEFL score of 580.

Visas and residence permits
Many non-European Union students that want to stay in The Netherlands to study need an MVV (Provisional Residence Permit).

You don´t need a visa if you come from: member states of the EU or EEA, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea or Monaco.

If you need an MVV, you can apply for one yourself - but it´s much faster if we apply on your behalf. It takes up to six weeks to process, so you need to start early (as soon as you get your acceptance letter).
