Admission and application

International students and Dutch students with non-Dutch qualifications are not automatically admitted to a bachelor's degree programme at the University of Groningen.

The full registration procedure will take longer than for Dutch students with regular Dutch qualifications and consists of three steps: application, admission and registration.


If you apply between 1 October and 28 February and submit all the requested information and documents in full via the Progress Portal and Studielink, you will receive a decision on your (conditional) admission within 15 working days. See www.rug.nl/earlybird for more information.
