For most English-taught Bachelor's programs, you need to prove your proficiency with an academic English test. HAN typically accepts a TOEFL iBT score of 80 or higher, or an IELTS (academic) score of 6.0 or higher with no sub-scores below 5.0. You may be exempt if you have completed certain international baccalaureates or your secondary education in English in specific countries like the U.S., U.K., or Australia
Matching is a process designed to help you ensure that your chosen program is the right fit for you. After you apply, you will be invited to participate in activities which could include filling in a questionnaire or attending an interview.

Yes, it is possible to work, but the rules depend on your nationality. If you are from outside the EU/EEA and have a residence permit for study, you need an additional work permit to work for an employer. Your employer must apply for this permit. You are allowed to work either a maximum of 16 hours per week year-round or full-time during June, July, and August. If you work as a self-employed person, you do not need a work permit
Yes, this is a crucial point. As an international student, you normally don't need Dutch public health insurance. However, as soon as you start any job—whether you work a few hours or during the summer—you are considered an employee and are legally required to take out Dutch public health insurance. Failing to do so can result in a large fine .
