Step 1: Apply for your Master via Studielink.

After registering in Studielink, you'll receive instructions by email to access the university's online application portal Osiris Applications, where you'll upload your documents.

• Tip: Submit your application as early as possible to allow enough time for document evaluation, visa arrangements (if applicable), and housing.

  • For your final registration, original certified hardcopies* of your diploma and final transcripts need to be sent by post or submitted in person. You can also ask your University to e-mail coia-admissions@hr.nl directly. *An original certified photocopy is a photocopy of your original diploma. This copy is stamped and signed by the school or the institute which awarded your diploma.

Step 3: Admissions assessment

Once we've received your application, we'll review:

• Your educational background
• Your submitted documents
• Your English language proficiency (if applicable)
• Non-EU applicants that require a study visa, will be invited for an intake interview

If any documents are missing, we'll contact you.

Intake interview information
All non-EU applicants with a non-EU diploma will be invited for an intake interview after their application documents have been reviewed. Prior to the interview, you will receive a questionnaire to help you prepare. You can use it as a guide for the types of questions that may be asked.

Tip: If you are unsure whether this applies to you, please contact coia-admissions@hr.nl.

Step 4: Receive your admission decision

If the application documents are assessed and approved by the Admissions team and other course specific admissions requirements have been fulfilled (interview and/or competency test) you will receive your conditional admission offer. 

If you do not meet the admission requirements, we'll explain the reason and, where applicable, advise you on alternative pathways.

Step 5: Finalise your enrolment

After receiving the conditional admission, additional information about practical matters like housing, insurance and visa will be provided by email by team Student Support. 

In order to get unconditional admission, you need to finalise these requirements before the intake deadline specified in the offer email.

• Tuition Fee:
  • EU applicants: you have to arrange payment of tuition fee via Studielink.
  • Non-EU applicants: you will receive an invoice by email for tuition fees and additional fees that apply. Did you know we will help you with the study visa procedure? After you have recieved conditional admission, we will reach out and inform you what is the visa procedure. After you have paid the fees as stated on the invoice and we have received the required documents for the visa application, team Student Support will apply for your student visa (MVV) and residence permit (VVR). You (or your agent) will be informed when your MVV is ready to be collected at the Dutch consulate or embassy in your country.*Please note, this step is not applicable for part-time master programme

  For your final registration, original certified hardcopies* of your diploma and final transcripts send by post or submitted in person are still required. *An original certified photocopy is a photocopy of your original diploma/transcript. This copy is stamped and signed by the school or the institute which awarded your diploma.
