Official Netherlands 2021 University applicant thread

Has anyone from India applied to UVA for European Studies? If yes, what subject did u have in high school? I want to apply but I am not sire because I didn’t have maths in my subjects so i am afraid that i will be rejected

hey!
I quickly checked and on the website, in this link: https://www.uva.nl/en/programmes/bachelors/european-studies/application-and-admission/international-prior-education/international-prior-education.html?origin=0UW%2FNlzHRVCfgfmL3cdmVg#2-Check-entry-requirements
you can see that it says you should have maths and English up to final year of high school, but then you can click there to see the specific requirements and for India it says: Standard XII diploma (academic stream): All India Senior School Certificate from CBSE with grades B1 or higher in 5 subjects; Indian School Certificate from CISCE with an average of at least 75% in 5 subjects; or the Migration *** Transfer Certificate of the Senior Secondary School Examination from NIOS with grades C or higher in 5 subjects.

but then there are specific requirements for some courses and there is no mention of anything specific for European Studies, so it seems that you should be fine only having those 5 subjects at grades higher than B1 (if that's your qualification, I don't know much about India system, but you do probably)

if you want to make sure, though, you can contact the admissions, I have contacted many Dutch unis before qith some questions and they were always extremely helpful! and then if they say that you do need to have Maths, you can make it up by taking an extra test (that's what I will be doing for medicine with Physics)

hope this helps!

Hi! I have a quick question, for the CV that many Dutch unis require, should we add a picture or not?

I've also applied for erasmus rotterdam but amsterdam is my top choice. Also if everything goes wrong, I've also applied to UK unis as a backup.

Mine is one page (everything fits without looking messy); at another university, the CV could be maximum two pages, but I think it depends on what you want to include!

Hello everyone! I am an international student and I recently submitted my application for Bachelors in Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam and its almost been a week since then and I know it has only been a week but I have absolutely no idea when the admissions decisions come out. So, does anybody who is currently studying at UvA or know anything about this, have any idea when I might get my decision?

It depends! Since it's on a rolling basis (I think? since it's May deadline), it just depends on how busy it is at the university. I wouldn't be able to say how long it might take. :smile:

''If your qualifications are included in our country qualifications checker, you can expect your admissions decision within one to two weeks. Full review and verification of qualifications not on this list may take up to eight weeks.'' Maybe this helps? It's for non-selective degrees.
