Important information for non-EEA students

Non-EU students who currently do not hold a valid study permit for the Netherlands need to apply before 1 June by sending their information to ese-admission@ese.eur.nl. This applies, for example, to students who took a gap year after bachelor graduation. For students who apply after 1 June, it cannot be guaranteed that the visa procedure is completed on time for admission.
