This page only offers a brief overview of the full application process. Before starting the application procedure please read the official updated application guidelines on the webpage (click here) of the University of Amsterdam.

• Check the deadlines and admission requirements

  Before you can apply to the UvA, you will need to submit an enrolment application through Studielink (national enrolment system). You might need a DigiD to access Studielink if you already live in the Netherlands.

  Within 48 hours after submitting your enrolment application in Studielink, you will receive an email with your UvAnetID you can use to complete your UvA application.

  The application requirements, as per the Teaching and Examination Regulation (OER), are:

  1.) relevant undergraduate degree (TER B Article 3.1.2), 

  2.) solid logic background (TER B Article 3.1.3)

  3.) academic excellence (TER B Article 3.1.4), and 

  4.) proof of English language proficiency (TER B Article 3.1.5). 

  Under some circumstances the Admissions Board (AB) might decide to waive requirement 1-3 if the candidate convices the AB that their admission will benefit both the programme and the applicant. Requirement 4 is a formal requirement and cannot be waived.
