You can request official documents such as your diploma or a certificate of graduation from the student administration office of the programme you attended. When making your request via email, be sure to mention exactly which document you need, the purpose (e.g., for an employer), and include your full name, date of birth, programme name, and student number

All applications must begin by registering in the national Dutch enrolment system called Studielink (www.studielink.nl). After you submit your enrolment request there, you will receive login details for the Fontys portal within approximately one working day. For most programmes, you will then need to complete an additional application form and may be invited for an interview or admissions test

Deadlines vary depending on your nationality and who arranges your housing. For EU students requiring Fontys-arranged accommodation, the deadline is 15 June for the September intake and 15 December for the February intake. If you arrange accommodation yourself, the deadlines are 15 January (February start) and 15 August (September start). Non-EU students have earlier deadlines of 15 November (February start) and 15 June (September start). Always verify if your specific study programme has its own earlier deadline

All bachelor's and master's programmes at Dutch universities of applied sciences require a minimum English proficiency level. The standard requirement for most programmes is an IELTS score of 6.0 or a TOEFL score of 79. However, specific requirements may vary by programme, so you should always check the details for your chosen course of study

Yes, Fontys offers part-time (deeltijd) programmes, such as the part-time Bachelor in Technical Business Studies or the Associate Degree in Engineering. These programmes are designed for students who often combine work and study. Admission to part-time programmes typically requires you to have a relevant job, as workplace learning is central to the curriculum. An intake interview will assess your prior education, workplace suitability, and personal goals

Yes, some Fontys study programmes offer the NL Scholarship for non-EU/non-EEA students. Additionally, Fontys ICT students applying for a minor abroad outside Europe can apply for an NL Scholarship of €2,500. Students going to European destinations may be eligible for an Erasmus+ scholarship. You may also be eligible for other scholarships not provided by Fontys, which can be found on Grantfinder.nl

Yes, if your employer is funding your studies, you can confirm the digital authorisation yourself in Studielink using your own bank account number. Fontys does not issue invoices directly to employers, but your study programme can issue you an official proof of payment for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to request an invoice for your employer well before the first collection date around the 25th of September

Fontys does not own its own student dormitories but works with trusted landlords and housing agencies to help international students find accommodation for their first semester or academic year. You can apply for this assistance through Fontys if you live abroad, are applying for an English-taught programme, and have a non-Dutch educational background. However, applying does not guarantee a room, as spaces are limited, and students must meet all criteria before the deadlines (15 June for Fall, 8 December for Spring)

Accommodation options include standard student rooms (private room with shared kitchen/bathroom, <€750), semi-studios (private bathroom, shared or private kitchen, <€800), and independent studios (all private facilities, >€800 for bachelor students only). All rooms are furnished with at least a bed (including bedding), cupboard, desk, and chair. Shared facilities include kitchen utensils and laundry access. The accommodation is typically located within 30 minutes by bicycle from the Fontys campus .

While the search results do not specifically mention the orientation year visa, they provide detailed information on working during studies. For post-study work, international graduates are generally eligible for a one-year "zoekjaar" or orientation visa to find a job as a highly skilled migrant. For specific and current information on post-study visa options, it is best to consult the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) website

If you are from the EU/EEA or Switzerland, you are free to work without restrictions and do not need a work permit. If you are from outside Europe, you face restrictions: you may work a maximum of 16 hours per week during the academic year, or you may work full-time during June, July, and August. In both cases, your employer must apply for a work permit (TWV) at least five weeks in advance. You cannot apply for this permit yourself. Once you start working, you are required to have Dutch public health insurance .
