Admission and registration in 5 steps

  1. Check the admission requirements

    Do you meet the requirements?

    When you apply, Maastricht University (UM) will assess whether your prior education makes you admissible. Therefore, it is very important that you check beforehand whether you satisfy the requirements.

    You will receive a message once UM has made the decision. Additional documents may be required to assess your prior education. If so, you will receive a request by email, so please keep an eye on your inbox.

    Please note: Click on “Admission requirements” in the dark blue menu on the left-hand side of this page to find out more about the requirements for this programme.

  2. Check the application deadlines and register via Studielink.nl

    Applying via Studielink

    You can register for a study programme via Studielink.  In Studielink, you will have to indicate which programme you would like to register for. After registration in Studielink, you should continue with step 3: Upload your documents.

    If you are registered in a Dutch municipality, you can only register using your DigiD. If you do not yet have a DigiD, you will need to request one. If you do not (yet) live in the Netherlands, you still register via Studielink, but you will not be able to use DigiD. Instead, you create a Studielink account yourself and UM will check your personal details.

    Register directly via Studielink

  3. Upload your documents in MyUM

    Check which documents are required

    After you have registered in Studielink, you will receive an email from Maastricht University (UM) within 24 hours. This email contains your personal student number and a password. You can use this information to access the MyUM portal  , the intranet of Maastricht University.

    In order to complete your registration, you need to upload the required documents (as indicated below) via MyUM as soon as possible.

    Please note:  If you accidentally upload a wrong document in the MyUM portal, you can no longer remove it from your digital file. However, you can still upload the right document, but this does not replace the incorrect one. UM judges which documents are right.

    Required documents:

    • A recent passport picture: The passport picture must satisfy certain requirements.
    • A copy of your valid passport or your EU/EEA identity card: Make a copy of the page with your personal details. Save this copy as ‘passport copy’ and not as ‘passport picture’.
    • A copy of your most recent list of grades and a copy of your diploma if you have obtained it.

  4. Continuation of the admissions procedure

    You (conditionally) meet the requirements and your application will be processed

  5. Complete your registration

    Fulfil all registration criteria and pay your tuition

    After you have completed step 4, you will receive a request from Maastricht University (UM) that you need to pay your tuition fees. 

    Please make sure that you pay your tuition fee on time, so you can commence your study programme at the beginning of the academic year.

    Upload or send any documents still required
    If any of your documents are still missing, you will receive a message about this from the Student Services Centre (SSC). The documents concerned are listed in the message. Upload the requested documents as quickly as possible in the MyUM Portal, or send these by post to the SSC if that is requested.
