Application and selection procedure
International applicants
The Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence admits 125 students each year through a selection procedure.
Make sure you apply before the deadline of 1 August (EU and Dutch students). Please note that if you submit your application before 1 July, you will receive your outcome by 12 July. Applicants submitting their assessment after 1 July will be invited for an interview during the last week of August and will only find out afterwards whether they can start.
The application deadline for non-EU applicants remains 1 May, due to visa application requirements.
Tip: Don't wait until the last minute! The earlier you apply, the sooner you will hear whether you have been accepted. This is because we review applications as they come in, so you will quickly know where you stand.
Application steps
- Step 1. Submit your application via Studielink
You are required to apply via Studielink, the platform for enrolment in higher education programmes in the Netherlands. You can track the status of your application on your personal Studielink page and in the progress overview in My Online Application.
- Step 2. Apply via My Online Application
After submitting your application in Studielink, you will receive an email inviting you to complete your application in My Online Application. Please make sure to do so by 3 August, 17:00 CET.
In My Online Application, you'll be asked to answer additional questions (e.g., about your English proficiency) and upload the following documents:
- Curriculum vitae (resume)
- ID / Passport
- Secondary school diploma with grade list and translation (if not in English, French, German, or Dutch), or your most recent grade list if you haven’t yet received your diploma.

- Step 3. Take part in the selection procedure
The selection procedure consists of the following parts:
- Portfolio assignment. Here you can find all information about the portfolio assisgnment.
- Interview
We strongly encourage applicants to apply as soon as possible in order to complete the portfolio assignment in time. If you complete your portfolio assignment before 1 July, and it meets the requirements, you will be invited to an interview before 12 July. If you do this after 1 July, your interview will take place in the last week of August and you will only know whether you can start after that. You will be informed of the outcome of the interview within 10 days – whether you have been accepted, placed on the waiting list, or rejected. If places become available, candidates on the waiting list will be admitted to the programme in chronological order.
- Step 4. Complete your enrolment: payment of tuition fee
In order to complete your enrolment, you need to confirm your digital authorisation or pay your tuition fee. You can find more information about the payment of the tuition fee here. This will be possible starting from May. You will receive an e-mail for this purpose, with the request to enter your payment details via your ‘To do’ list in Studielink. Please make sure you arrange this before 1 August.
