FAQ
Do you need an English language certificate for every university?
Whether you need a certificate for your application may vary depending on which university you decide to apply for. Make sure to consult the university website on time to check whether or not you need to take a language test.
Which proficiency level is required for studying abroad?
The required language level for studying abroad may vary across different universities, but most often the required proficiency level is C1.
Can the Language Centre help me get a visa?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to get a visa for following a language course. We do not offer long-term intensive courses and, as such, we are not authorized by the immigration authorities to issue letters of invitation or to assist in any other way to obtain a visa for the Netherlands.
