Once you have submitted your Studielink enrolment, you will receive an email inviting you to follow up on your Studielink enrolment by applying in My online application.

In My online application you will be requested to answer additional questions and to upload your application documents; CV, Motivation letter, ID, your secondary school diploma including list of grades and translation (if these documents are not in one of the following languages: English, French, German or Dutch) or your most recent list of grades if you have not obtained your diploma yet.

You can track the status of your admission in My online application.

3. Take part in the selection procedure

The selection procedure consists of two parts:

• online intake assignment
• a Skype interview

Once the admissions officer has checked your educational background, you will receive an invitation by email for the online intake assessment. In this mail you will find instructions about how to proceed. Enter the assessment website with your BUas student number and follow the instructions on the website. Make sure you do all the assignments before the deadline of 31 January. If you hand in the main assignment in time, you will be invited for an interview. The interview will take place on 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 23 March.

Each study path has its own variation of the intake assignment. 

Outcome

On 15 April you will receive your selection ranking number from Studielink (via e-mail). The applicants with the ranking numbers 1 – 180 will be (conditionally) accepted. This will be communicated via e-mail. If you are accepted, you have to confirm your place via your personal Studielink page. You will be notified by Studielink. When you have a ranking number above 180, you will receive an email as well. More information about the reason for rejection will be available on the assessment site. You might still be selected, if people drop out from rank 1-180 the next ranked person will be invited to accept the space. If you have a rank ABOVE 250-300 the chance that you will be accepted on a later date will be slim.

4. Complete your enrolment: payment of tuition fee

The tuition fee is in most cases € 2,060. In order to complete your registration, you need to confirm your digital authorisation or pay your tuition fee. More information about payment of tuition fee.
