The information listed on this webpage applies to the September 2025 intake. Please note that the entry requirements are subject to change each year.
The entry requirements need to be met on your final grade list, and mathematics and English (for non-native speakers) have to be included in the final examination. PPLE College does not accept a combination of different diplomas. All four entry requirements must be met on one single diploma, if needed with the aid of a supplementary test.
When you do not meet the minimum required grades for mathematics and/or English on your final grade list, you will have to take a supplementary test to overcome these deficiencies.
If your documents are in any language other than Dutch, English, German or French, you will need to provide us with certified translations in your application.
Please note that if your final English and math results have been obtained earlier than May 2023, then these results can no longer be used to meet our minimum entry requirements. In this case, you will need to take a supplementary math and/or English exam(s) to meet these requirements and demonstrate that your proficiency and/or math skills are still satisfactory. Candidates who are already meeting or expected to meet all of our minimum entry requirements at the time of application are given preference in our selection procedure. If you are unsure whether or not this applies to you, please contact us via the contact form.
*Please note that the A Level exams in Mathematics and Further Mathematics will not be counted as 2 different subjects, but as 1 subject.
