In My Online Application you will be requested to answer additional questions (e.g. about your English proficiency) and to upload your application documents: CV, motivation letter, ID, your bachelor's documents including transcript of records (or a transcript of records with your latest results / overview if you have yet to obtain your bachelor’s degree). You will also be requested to upload a programme-specific assignment. More information about this assignment will be provided to you in due time in My Online Application.
Once the admissions officer has checked your educational background, the programme-specific assignment will be assessed by the academy (see dates of intake rounds above).

In case the assignment is assessed positively, you will receive an invitation for an intake interview (see dates of intake rounds above). This interview will take place face-to-face if you live in the Netherlands, otherwise via Teams. After the interview you will be informed about your admission within five working days.
In the case of conditional admission, you will be requested to upload your bachelor's degree documents and/or English test results at a later stage in My Online Application.
