After you apply

Although we can determine your eligibility based on digital documents, the authenticity of these documents will need to be verified after your (conditional) admission. Therefore we will ask you to send certified documents to International Student Admissions.

We can accept your certified documents in the following ways:

1. As a certified hardcopy: A certified hardcopy is a copy of an official document (for example your degree certificate or transcript) that has on it an original stamp/seal and/or signature from the issuing school, thereby proving that it is a genuine copy of the original.

The most common way to arrange a certified hardcopy is by visiting your school with your original documents. You should ask them to make a photocopy of your original documents, and then to stamp and sign the photocopy using the official school stamp.

Certified hardcopies must be send to this address: BA International Student Admissions, Administration Building. Winthontlaan 30C, 3526 KV Utrecht, The Netherlands.
OR

2. As a certified digital copy: A certified digital document is an electronic copy of a student’s degree certificate, academic transcript or other graduation document of which the content and authenticity can be securely verified online.

We accept certified digital documents in the following ways:

1. Documents carrying a valid digital signature from your school (for example: a digital signature traceable to the official email address of your school or school director),
2. Documents shared via the secured electronic system/database of your school,
3. Documents shared via an independent academic verification platform (for example: International: IB, Spain: EBAU, China: CHSI).

If you had not yet taken an English test at the time of your application, or your scores were insufficient, you will need to send your new official score report or certificate with sufficient scores to receive unconditional admission. Make sure to send your results to admissiondocuments@uu.nl.

Based on the assessment of your previous education, you may be asked to pass an exam or do further studies before you can enroll in the Bachelor’s programme. If this is the case, your letter of conditional acceptance will include all the relevant information on how to proceed. Make sure to send your exam results to admissiondocuments@uu.nl.

If you are applying for an open enrolment programme, we recommend that you accept the offer as soon as possible to make sure that you receive all relevant communication from us to guide you through the enrolment process.

If you are applying to a limited enrolment or selective programme, you have two weeks to accept your place after being selected for your programme. If you do not accept the offer within this time, you will not be able to enrol.
