Frequently Asked Questions - Admissions

To help you quickly, we set up a list of frequently asked questions that (new) students have during their admissions process. Please refer to this information first as the response we will send to you via email will be very similar.

  • Eligibility to the programme

    We do not offer any kind of pre-screening services and therefore we cannot provide you with a definitive decision on whether you will be admitted or not. We do not make statements about your eligibility by phone or email. We can only come to an informed decision about your eligibility by reviewing your complete Embark application.

    Your eligibility to the programme of your choice is solely based on academic credentials. We do not take work experience into consideration.

  • Enrolment status

    Our aim is to review your Embark application within 3-4 weeks. However, the review time will increase close to application deadlines or when your documents need an extra review.

    If any documents are missing from your application, you will be informed by email. In order to avoid missing important information, make sure to check your spam folder for emails sent from @embark.com and @uva.nl.

  • Scholarships

    We provide a limited number of scholarships for highly talented non-EU students applying to one of our Bachelor's and Master's programmes. Each year, the scholarship application deadline is on 15 January for students applying for the next academic year. Applications handed in after the scholarship deadline will not be taken into consideration.
