Students who wish to apply for study program at a university in the Netherlands, have two ways to send their file to the establishment of higher education that they have chosen. Each way is depending on the system implemented by the university or institution. Certain universities ask the students to make an application via their website, by registering via their portal. It is in particular the case of the university of Groningen and the university of Leiden.
On the other hand, the majority of universities use Studielink, a portal of registration gathering large number of study programs and trainings that are available in the Netherlands.
Which way is best to apply to a Dutch university?
Choosing a system of registration does not depend on you, but the development of Studielink portal makes more and more higher educational establishments turn to it. Your application file should containe the following necessary documents:
1- Your high school diploma if you want to apply for Bachelor's program.
2- Your Bachelor's degree or an equivalent if you want to apply for a Master's program.
3- A proof of your English level (TOEFL Ibt, at least 80).
4- A passport-size photo to be uploaded online or attached to your paper file.
The above mentioned documents are all the documents required, as certain universities may ask for additional documents such as:
1- Your CV or a summary of your past experiences.
2- A motivation letter written in the English language.
3- Recommendation or reference letters of your teachers and/or of employers.
*/ If you are a French applicant, It is not necessary to translate your French documents into English, because there can be found always a member in the very great majority of educational establishments in the Netherlands, who can understand French. Nevertheless, before sending your file to the university or institution of your choice, contact them to find out if they accept documents in French.
*/ Universities and institutions in Holland make their decision based only on the information, which you provided them. It is possible that they may contact you again to ask for more information, but an incomplete file is often neglected. Thus, prepare all your documents in advance and get in touch with the university or institution you have chosen, during the constitution of your file.
