Yes, you can certainly apply for several programmes at ArtEZ. However, it is important to check the specific admission deadlines for each programme, as they can differ. Some programmes require an early application, while for others it is possible to apply after 1 May.

To be admitted to a bachelor's programme, you generally need a havo, vwo, or mbo level 4 diploma, or an equivalent foreign diploma. In addition to the diploma requirement, you must pass the specific entrance exam for your chosen programme. You will only receive a positive result if the exam shows that you are a good fit for the course.

Yes, language requirements apply to all programmes, whether they are taught in Dutch or English. For Dutch-taught bachelor's programmes, you must be able to understand, speak, read, and write Dutch at B2 level. If you did not graduate from a Dutch-language secondary school, you will need to demonstrate your proficiency. For English-taught programmes, specific English language tests (like IELTS or TOEFL) are required, and the most current requirements can be found on the website.

The ArtEZ Scholarship is intended for new non-EU/EEA students who have been accepted into a full-time Bachelor's or Master's programme. It covers 50% of the institutional tuition fee and is awarded for the nominal duration of the study. The scholarship aims to encourage diverse new voices and is granted to excellent students who can also demonstrate they will contribute to the diversity of the learning community.

The NL Scholarship is a €5,000 grant for international students from outside the EU/EEA starting a bachelor's or master's in the Netherlands. You can only apply for it after you have been admitted to a programme at ArtEZ. The Student Affairs department will then invite you to apply, usually starting from 1 February. You must submit the required documents, including a motivation letter and a recommendation letter, before the deadline of 1 May.

No, ArtEZ does not provide any form of housing. Students in the Netherlands typically do not live on a campus and are responsible for finding their own accommodation in the cities of Arnhem, Enschede, or Zwolle. The university emphasizes that finding accommodation must be a top priority due to a nationwide housing crisis and the limited number of available rooms.

You should start your orientation on housing months before coming to the Netherlands. Affordable housing is scarce, so it is advised to start your search early, consider temporary rooms, or look in nearby cities. Facebook can be a useful platform, but beware of scammers. Be prepared for rooms to be relatively small (10-24 m²) and for average costs to be between €400 and €700 per month. It is not possible to reserve a room before arriving.

Yes, non-EU students who have graduated in the Netherlands can use the "Orientation Year for Highly Educated Persons" ("zoekjaar") scheme. This allows you to stay in the Netherlands for one year to look for work or start your own business. To use this option, you must register with the IND for the orientation year before your current residence permit expires.

To keep your residence permit, you must make sufficient academic progress. ArtEZ is required to report your study progress to the IND each year. You need to obtain at least 30 credits (ECTS) before 31 August each academic year. If you earn fewer credits, your residence permit may be withdrawn, unless there are exceptional circumstances like illness, which you must report to the student dean as soon as possible.
