HBO propaedeutic or HBO diploma
If you have completed your HBO propaedeutic or HBO diploma, it is possible to be admitted to the Bachelor’s degree programmes at Wageningen University, provided that you have completed certain courses at VWO level 6 (pre-university level) and that you meet the English and if applicable Dutch language requirements.
The courses required at pre-university level for each Bachelor’s degree programme, which must be completed in addition to your HBO propaedeutic, are shown in the table below.
If you think you qualify for an exemption from a VWO pre-university certificate based on courses in your HBO propaedeutic year, please contact the Bachelor’s Admissions Committee using the contact form after your application.
The institutions from which we accept the VWO certificates can be found on this website. The language requirements can be found on this website.
