Application Requirements for Netherlands Universities

RocApply is free of charge for students. We do not charge any application or agency fees. Everyone is free to apply throughout the year. RocApply is committed to helping students maximize their time and options, you can apply with us to any of our partner institutions in the Netherlands.

We advise students who would like to study for a degree in the Netherlands, we strongly advise that you begin the process as early as possible. Students looking to come in the separate Semester (which starts between August – September) must start as early as January of the same year, and students looking to come in the Spring semester (typical falls within January –February) can begin processing their admissions as early as June of the previous year.

Students looking for scholarships must start early because universities in the Netherlands consider scholarship applications first and this is done within a given period.
There are all online applications directly linked to each university and they all have their separate prerequisites. RocApply in partnership with universities in the country can help you determine which institution best suits your academic, financial and career needs.

Also, in recent times some Dutch universities now use a study link which is a national web-based system set up by the education ministry in the Netherlands. This is a central platform that student applications can be made. However, not all the institutions in the country are sıgned up to this platform.

Under the study link platform, the process is very straightforward and the process is step-by-step. The process is also clearly explained in different languages for a better understanding. Your application with RocApply is structured and detailed to best carry you along through the application process.

To study in the Netherlands as an international student, it is very important that you have good knowledge and command of the English language.
Students must also pass an internationally recognized English test.

The two typically accepted English tests are IELTS and TOEFL. But some universities accept other types. An average TOEFL score for 550 is required in the paper-based test while an average score of 213 is expected in the internet-based test.
