Admission and application
The deadline for application for the academic year of 2012-2013 is May 15, 2012. We welcome your application as from 31 October 2011. Please make sure your application reaches us before the deadline, because we cannot process applications received after May 15, 2012.
Under admissions and application, prospective students can find out how to apply for the IBCoM programme.
First, take a look at the entry requirements, because they are applicable to all applicants.
Secondly, select the type of diploma you have or will obtain. Admission is possible with a Dutch diploma, a non-Dutch diploma and a Dutch HBO diploma. Please choose which one of these three applies to you, and read more about the requested documents for that particular diploma.
You are also requested to write a motivation letter. Instructions for this can be found here.
If you have any questions about the procedure, please take a look at our frequently asked questions section first. If you cannot find the answer to your question there, or if you have any other questions, you are always welcome to contact the IBCoM admissions officer.
