We are sorry to inform you that the Foundation Programme will no longer be offered due to external circumstances. We can imagine this is disappointing to hear since it is also with great sadness that we have to do this. The Dutch universities have been instructed by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to limit the intake of international students and this has, unfortunately, resulted in the cancellation of the Foundation Programme.

Since we will not be able to offer the Foundation Programme, we have stopped accepting students who have already applied and stopped accepting new applications.

We wish you and your loved ones a happy and prosperous Lunar New Year!
