For EU/EEA students with an international (non-Dutch) degree

For students with a Dutch degree

1 June 2025 (or 1 April 2025 if you require a new Visa/Residence permit)

The entry requirements depend on where you have completed your prior education, these are the requirements for the September 2025 intake for:

• Applicants with an international degree
• Applicants from another UvA faculty or Dutch university
• Applicants from a Dutch University of Applied Sciences (HBO)

If you do not meet the above entry requirements, you might be eligible to do the pre-Master's programme which is available for students with an academic Bachelor's degree (WO).

Your application starts in Studielink, the national registration system for students applying to a degree programme at a Dutch university.

Registering in Studielink is the first step before you can apply to your chosen programme. During registration, you need to select a specific track. If you are admitted to the programme, you will be accepted for the overall programme, not a specific track.

Please note: this is not an application to the Master's programme. Only after submitting your complete application in Embark (step 5) the Admissions Office will assess your eligibility to the programme.

After registering in Studielink, you will receive your UvAnetID. This will give you access to check the status of your personal enrolment checklist in SIS. There you find the next steps that you need to take in order to complete your enrolment.

In order to check if you are eligible for the programme you need to upload and submit your documents in Embark. Remember to keep track of the deadlines to ensure your application is submitted on time.

Your tuition fee needs to be credited to the UvA’s bank account 1 day before your degree programme starts at the latest, so 31 August for a September start.

If you have received the great news that you are (conditionally) admitted to the programme, it's time to focus on other essential matters like arranging a visa (if necessary), finding accommodation, and preparing for the start of your academic journey. We will inform you per email about these topics when (conditionally) admitted.
