completing the university application :
High School Diploma or Equivalent & Transcript
You’ll need a secondary school diploma equivalent to the Dutch HAVO or VWO—think IB, A-levels, or similar. Official transcripts are required, and if they’re not in English, Dutch, French, or German, you’ll also need certified translations. BUas may ask Nuffic to assess your credentials if there’s any doubt.
2. Proof of English Proficiency
Non-native English speakers must show one of the following:
IELTS Academic (minimum overall score of 6.0, and 6.0 in speaking)
TOEFL iBT (minimum score of 80, with at least 20 in speaking)
Cambridge English (B2 First, C1 Advanced, or C2 Proficiency) with a minimum speaking score of 169
Or similar scores on PTE or LanguageCert. Some applicants may be exempt if their previous education was in English or on Nuffic’s approved list.
3. Motivation Letter (and Portfolio if Required)
A motivation letter explaining why you want to study your chosen programme at BUas is a staple of your application. Some programmes—like Creative Media and Game Technologies—also require a portfolio submission.
4. Copy of Passport (or Valid ID)
You’ll need a valid passport copy for your application—and for later visa and residence permit procedures if you’re an international student.
5. Birth Certificate
Required for city hall registration and visa processes—especially if you’re applying for a student visa or residence permit for stays longer than 4 months. Must be in English, Dutch, French, or German, and no older than 3 years. Translations need to be authenticated with an apostille.
6. Statement of Enrollment or Predicted Grades (if diploma not yet obtained)
If you haven’t finished your final year yet, BUas requires a statement (in English) from your school stating your diploma title and expected graduation date—especially useful for conditional admission.
On the national front, BUas clocked 26th place in the UniRank system. It may not be flashy, but it’s a consistent stamp of quality among Dutch applied sciences schools
This isn’t just a flash; it’s a decade-long dominance. BUas’s Creative Business programs have held the #1 spot in their category for ten years straight. That’s staying power—and serious curriculum muscle
One of BUas’s student-made games, Atan, grabbed a prestigious BAFTA Student Award—a massive nod on the global stage. It shows that BUas doesn’t just produce polished graduates—it builds creators making bold, industry-grade work while still learning
BUas teamed up with ROE Visual to bring a full-scale XR (extended reality) stage to their campus—making them the first applied sciences university in the EU with this tech. This immersive stage lets media and production students blend live action with digital environments in real time, opening up new avenues for filming, virtual production, and creative experimentation
BUas conducted exploratory research into how augmented reality transforms staged entertainment, bridging live performance with immersive digital overlays. This work isn’t just academic—it sits at the intersection of theatre, tech, and audience experience, opening new possibilities for live shows and interactive productions
Starting in April 2024, BUas spearheads the Digital Innovation District for Society, part of the Regiodeal Midden-Brabant. This regional project transforms how the local community—think businesses, governments, citizens—interacts with digital innovation. It’s about building a living ecosystem of co-designed prototypes, services, and social solutions over multiple years. It’s not a single invention; it’s innovation at scale, shaping society in tangible ways
