It’s almost May 1st, which means that the application deadline is approaching! Especially if you are an international student, the application process might be challenging. That’s why we’ve collected all of our previous blogs about everything you need to know for a complete application and what you can expect after applying.

#1: Tips to ace your UG application!

In this blog, Luc talks about what you have to do to apply for your programme and how this process goes. He explains what different aspects of the list of required documentation entail, such as course descriptions, the motivation letter, a transcript of your results, proof of English Proficiency, and more. He also gives some additional tips about the Bachelor’s and Master’s application process.

#2: What can you expect after submitting your application?

After applying you might wonder what is going on and when you will receive a response. This blog will give you all the answers. Anna talks about when you can expect an answer, what to do when you have questions, what the status of your application means and what to do when you’ve been accepted!

#3: The immigration procedure explained

If you are an international student and have been accepted to the UG, you probably need to go through the immigration procedure as well. Ariana gives you insight into whether you only need to get a residence permit or a long-term multiple entry visa as well. The blog also includes a step by step video on the procedure, and links to an overview of the process, the deadlines and our Student Journey tool that helps you to see what is required in your specific situation.

Good to know: the Admissions Office now accepts digitally certified copies of academic documents. This will reduce the university's environmental impact and helps us move towards a more sustainable future. More information about what is needed for documents to be certified can be find on our updated website.

So, now you know what’s expected of you and what will happen after you’ve applied. Good luck with your application. Hopefully, we can welcome you in Groningen after the Summer!
