Apply for a bachelor's programme

Apply via Studielink for the Wageningen University bachelor’s programme of your choice. In case you won’t obtain a Dutch pre-university (VWO) diploma you will receive an email with further information and a link to the Wageningen University application portal (Osiris) once you have finished your application in Studielink.

Applicants without a Dutch pre-university (VWO) diploma will need to complete their registration in the Wageningen University application portal (Osiris). Don’t forget to submit your application in the application portal, otherwise we cannot start the evaluation of your credentials. In order to start the evaluation of your credentials we only require a recent list of marks. We will always contact you in case we need additional information for the evaluation. Once we have evaluated your application you will receive a letter stating whether or not you have been (conditionally) admitted and on which conditions.

We need to receive the certified documents as mentioned in your personal result letter* before the following deadlines.

• Non-EU/non-EFTA nationals: 1 July**
• EU/EFTA nationals: 31 August
• Dutch nationals without Dutch VWO diploma: 31 August
• Dutch nationals with Dutch VWO diploma    

*Not applicable for students with a Dutch VWO diploma
**In case you receive your diploma results between 1 and 15 July your documents are still accepted if we receive them the latest by 15 July
*** Dutch VWO diplomas are usually automatically verified via DUO, you can check this yourself in Studielink. Please note that pre-university (VWO) certificates usually aren't verified automatically via DUO. We ask you to contact us as soon as you obtain these certificates.

EU and EFTA nationals see a new task in their 'My to do list' in Studielink from May 1 onwards. Non-EU and non-EFTA nationals will receive an invoice after being (conditionally) admitted. The Student Finance Department will start sending invoices from April onwards. We need to receive your payment before the following deadlines:

Dutch nationals with Dutch VWO diploma: 15 August
Dutch nationals without Dutch VWO diploma: 15 August

After we have received your admission documents and you have paid the tuition fees, Wageningen University will start the application of your Visa/Residence Permit. We don’t arrange entry visa based on predicted grades or expected graduation dates. We are aware that this implies that sometimes students are not able to start the programme in September of the current year but have to wait for an additional year.
