Please find all the application deadlines below.
1. Enrolment application via Studielink
You are to apply through Studielink, the application and enrolment portal provided by the Netherlands Ministry of Education.
You can track the status of your application on your personal Studielink page and in the progress overview in My online application.
2. Take part in the selection procedure
The selection procedure consists of two parts:
- online intake assignment
- a face to face interview
After applying via Studielink, you will receive your BUas student number an e-mail with instructions for the further procedure, as well as a link to the assessment 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.
In the selection interview you will present a portfolio to support your strengths in the chosen path. General developers are most common in small teams of ‘indie’ game developers, whereas specialists will usually focus on the larger game development companies.
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 will be notified by Studielink and you have to confirm your place via your personal Studielink page. If you have a ranking number above 180, you will receive an email as well. 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.
