Dutch programme
If you speak Dutch, you can attend Dutch taught courses too during both semesters. If you don’t speak Dutch but are willing to learn it, you can make a combination of language classes in Dutch at the beginning of your stay and regular classes of Psychology or Education in Dutch at the end. This option is only available during the second semester. You can already start your language training by taking an Erasmus Intensive Language course in the Netherlands, before you arrive here.

Application
First check if you are a student of one of our partner universities. If you are, contact the international relations office of your faculty or university to get nominated here. After nomination, we will send you an application package by email. Once you have been accepted, you can apply for accommodation (deadline 15 May or 1 November).
If you are not a student of one of our partner universities, you can apply here as free mover. This option is only open to students who plan to do a Research Master’s programme here and have good English language skills and study results. Due to the limited amount of student accommodation, we can only consider your application if we have places left over. Please contact the international relations officer if you are interested.
