Application procedure

Great that you have decided to apply for the BSc Global Responsibility & Leadership! The final application deadline for our programme is the 1st of May, 2024. Please note that the earlier you apply in the year, the quicker we are able to process your application and the sooner you will know if you will be part of the UCF class in the coming year! We aim to inform you of your status within 4 to 8 weeks after you completed your application.

Below is a list of the steps you need to take in order to apply for the GRL programme:

1. Studielink application

Studielink is the system used in the Netherlands to enroll students in higher education programmes. Both the University and the Dutch government obtain their information from Studielink, so it is important that the information that you upload in Studielink is current and accurate.

2. Application System

After you have applied for the GRL programme via Studielink:

• If you have a Dutch diploma: you will receive an email from us with more information on the application procedure.

• If you have a non-Dutch diploma: you will get an automatic email which will allow you to access the Progress Portal. Once you have uploaded all the required documents in the application system, the Admissions Office will review your application and make sure all required documents have been uploaded correctly. Once your file is complete, it will be sent to the Admissions Board. Once it has been reviewed by the Admissions Board, you will receive a decision letter. If you have been deemed admissible to the programme, you will then go through the selection procedure.
  
  All information about the application procedure for students with an international diploma can also be found in this brochure.

If you are offered a place on the programme, you will receive a (conditional) offer per email. You can accept your offer by returning your signed Confirmation of Participation digitally, a sheet that is attached to this official acceptance letter.
