PPLE organises two application rounds per year, an Early Bird application round and a Regular application round.
Applicants can submit and enrolment request via Studielink (www.studielink.nl) as of 10 October. The early bird deadline is 30 November. Selected candidates are informed mid-January and invited to proceed to the essay round that takes place between 18 - 21 January. The Admissions Committee convenes by the end of January to select the candidates who are invited for the interview round. The interviews are scheduled between 4 - 15 February. The Committee comes together for their final Early Bird selection meeting by the end of February. During this meeting the final selection of prospective students will be made and the successful applicants are awarded a conditional offer.
Overview Early Bird admissions:
Applicants can submit their application until 1 March. Selected candidates are informed in the beginning of April and invited to proceed to the essay round that takes place between 4 - 7 April. The Admissions Committee convenes in mid-April to select the candidates who are invited for the interview round. The interviews are scheduled between 18 - 30 April. The Committee comes together for their final Regular selection meeting at the beginning of May. During this meeting the final selection of prospective students will be made and the successful applicants are awarded a conditional offer.
Overview Regular admissions:
Please note, decisions per selection round are always communicated via email. Make sure to keep a close eye on your email and spam filter.
Chances on being conditionally selected for enrolment are equal among the Early Bird and the Regular application. However, we recommend applying to the Early Bird round as this allows more time to finalize your enrolment and arrange practical matters, e.g. visa, housing, and insurance.
