I do not have the proper qualifications. Can I still enrol at the University?

If you do not have a certificate that grants direct access to a university degree programme, you cannot enrol as a student at the University of Groningen. There are other possibilities:

• Some degree programmes offer the possibility of enrolling in open lectures.
• If you are older than 21, you may be eligible to take the colloquium doctum (entrance examination).
• If you are younger than 21, you may be able to obtain a HBO propaedeutic certificate or take the VWO examination.
• All regular universities have the same entry requirements. However, the Open University does allow students who do not have a diploma to enrol in its degree programmes.
