Studielink is the national online registration system for students who would like to pursue a degree programme at a Dutch university. All students who would like to apply to a programme at the UvA need to register in Studielink first.  

Please note: after registering in Studielink, we expect your completed application in SIS under ‘My Applications’ within 14 days. To meet this deadline, make sure to gather all necessary documents before starting your registration in Studielink.

After registering in Studielink, you will receive your UvAnetID. This will give you access to check the status of your personal enrolment checklist in SIS. There you find the subsequent steps that you need to take in order to complete your enrolment.

In order to check if you are eligible for the programme you need to upload and submit your documents in SIS under 'My Applications'.

We expect you to submit your completed application within 14 days after registering in Studielink. If you haven't submitted it within this period, you will receive a reminder. If you miss the second deadline as well, your application in SIS and your registration in Studielink will be cancelled. If you are still interested in the programme, you need to start again by re-registering in Studielink and submitting a new application.

Students with an international secondary school diploma in combination with a HBO-P can skip this step.

You will receive your (conditional) results within 4 to 6 weeks after you submitted a fully completed application form. The earlier you apply, the sooner you will know the outcome.

You can confirm your participation from the moment you have been conditionally accepted to the programme. You reserve your place in the programme, and let us know you would like to study with us. Confirm your participation in the programme as soon as possible, and before the deadline stated in your email. 

How: Login to SIS, click on 'confirm' and choose one of the options. 
 
If you have doubts, note that your confirmation is not binding. You can cancel your request for enrolment in Studielink at any time. However, a timely confirmation will allow us to continue all administrative procedures.

UvA Matching is an online introduction to the Bachelor’s programme. It is designed to assess whether the programme is a good fit for you.

Your tuition fee needs to be credited to the UvA’s bank account 1 day before your degree programme starts at the latest, so 31 August for a September start.

If you have received the great news that you are (conditionally) admitted to the programme, it's time to focus on other essential matters like arranging a visa (if necessary), finding accommodation, and preparing for the start of your academic journey. We will inform you per email about these topics when (conditionally) admitted.
