The International Student Office (ISO) handles all applications of foreign students who want to enrol for one of the study programmes in English or German, with the exception of students that want to apply for the Prince Claus Conservatoire and Academie Minerva*.
Apply online
When you have decided to apply for a study programme at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen you can complete an online application. Upon receipt of your application, our International Student Office will contact you on the next steps in the application procedure.
Application review
Hanze UAS will review your application and will decide whether you are accepted or not. We aim at notifying students about whether or not they can be admitted within two weeks after receiving the application. When the application file is incomplete, your file may be put on hold or in some cases you may be provisionally accepted. You will then need to hand in the missing document(s) to become fully accepted.
Letter of acceptance
In case you are accepted we will send you an official letter of acceptance by postal mail. You will be required to meet our enrolment requirements and you can start the procedure to apply for the various facilities that Hanze (UAS) offers.
Attached with the letter of acceptance we will send you our International Student Guide in which you can find information about visa, housing, insurance, etc.
Students who do not meet our admittance requirements will receive a letter of rejection. In this letter it will be stated how to appeal to the decision.
In some cases you may receive a letter of provisional acceptance at first. In this case you are not fully admitted yet. You still need to send your diploma and/or your language proficiency. Please be aware that you cannot enrol as a student until you have been fully admitted and you have received your final letter of acceptance.
*Students who want to apply to the Prince Claus Conservatoire and Academy Minerva always need to contact these departments directly.
