What grades do you need to get in to a Dutch university?

The admissions process for Dutch universities is very different from the British system. Although there is now a centralised admissions process, Studielink, it does not work in the same way as UCAS.

With very few exceptions you are entitled to a place to study at a Dutch university if you have a school leaving certificate. For British students, this typically means that you have completed at least 2 A-levels. For this reason it is usually much easier to receive an offer from a Dutch university. You will not be made a conditional offer, you will simply be told that you will be accepted subject to your achieving your A-levels in the summer. For information on the practicalities of applying please refer to the Studielink page of this site.
