Limited enrolment

    Some programmes can only accommodate a certain number of students and will conduct their own selection processes to decide which students to admit. These selection processes consider not just academic performance but also other relevant competences. You can apply for these programmes until 15 January. Participating in the selection procedure for a limited enrolment programme is free of charge.

    Programmes with selection

    Utrecht University offers several bachelor’s programmes that only admit a limited number of students. Places are allocated based on a selection procedure.
