are stipulated;
We accept students on a rolling bases: the earlier you apply the sooner you
will know the outcome;
The admissions committee only reviews complete applications;
The first evaluation of your application will take around two weeks. The
admissions office will assess if you meet our student profile. If there is some
uncertainty about your previous education the first evaluation will take more
time. In this case we will inform you about the delay.
Mathematics entrance test
If you pass the first evaluation we will invite you for the mathematics
entrance test by email;
The mathematics entrance test needs to be taken within one month after our
invitation. Dutch students take the test at our department on specified dates.
International students take the test in their country. We will ask you to find a
supervisor that can supervise you on the test. We will send the mathematics
entrance test by email to the supervisor. The supervisor will return the answers
sheet to us. Within two weeks we will inform you about the result. The test can
only be taken once.
Final review
The programme director will have a final review on your application;
After the final review we will inform you by email if you're accepted to the

interview;
The entire selection procedure will take four to six weeks.

We also ask you to sign the participation contract in order to secure your
place in the programme;
