Application process for applicants with Dutch prior education

Have you become enthusiastic about the bachelor Computational Social Science? To enrol in our degree programme, you will have to take the following steps:

Application process

  • 1. Check deadlines

    The application deadline for a start in September 2022 is 1 May 2022.

  • 2. Check requirements

    The English taught Bachelor's programme in Computational Social Science is open to all students who meet the requirements specified below.

    Previous education

    Students will need to have completed their secondary school diploma before the start of the BSc in Computational Social Science. The diploma (to be) obtained should be equivalent to a Dutch VWO-diploma ​with mathematics ​(Wiskunde A or B) and English taken as subjects at upper secondary / university preparatory education level​. These subjects should be included in the final secondary school or university entry examinations. Students with a Dutch HBO-propaedeutic diploma can also apply, but need mathematics A or B at VWO-level.

    Please see the list of approved qualifications for an overview of diplomas that are considered equivalent to the Dutch VWO-diploma. The list is far from exhaustive, will be updated on a regular basis and is meant for general reference only. No rights can be derived from it. All applications will be evaluated on an individual basis by professional diploma evaluators.

    If your qualification is not on the list, it does not necessarily mean you cannot be admitted and you are still encouraged to apply.

    Colloquium doctum

    If you are 21 or older and do not meet the admission requirements, you can take an entrance exam: the colloquium doctum. A colloquium doctum is also compulsory after registration at the UvA.

  • 3. Submit enrolment application in Studielink

    Before you can apply to the UvA, you will need to submit an enrolment application in Studielink. Studielink is the national online system for students who would like to pursue a degree programme at a Dutch university. 

    Check your DigiD (before starting in Studielink)

    A DigiD (Digital Identification) is an online ID (username and password) that provides access to government administration websites.

    • Students who do not live in the Netherlands can use Studielink without a DigiD.
    • Students who currently live in the Netherlands will need their DigiD to use Studielink. We strongly recommend you to apply for your DigiD at least three weeks before registering in Studielink.
