For applicants with a registered address in the Netherlands this step is automated.

You need to get a verification code in order to proceed with your application. Once you have entered your personal details into Studielink, you can directly proceed with entering an enrolment application ( select - new enrolment application).Once you have received your login details, you can proceed with entering your personal details.You must go through a number of steps during the enrolment process. Private universities and Liberal Arts Colleges may have different entry requirements. If you have already taken your A levels it is usually straightforward getting offers from Dutch universities. Any offer you receive from a Dutch university will usually be dependent only on you passing the exams you plan to take. Your previous grades will have a bearing on whether you are accepted on a course where there is Numerus Fixus, and occasionally A' level students must have appropriate subjects, but otherwise you only need to prove that you have the qualifications you say you have. You do not receive conditional offers through Studielink because Dutch university entry requirements usually do not depend on the specific grades you get at A level, International Baccalaureate or BTEC (although this is changing for A levels at research universities where CCC is now often the minimum requirement). This gives you the flexibility to ensure you actually end up studying where and what you want. (You can only apply to one medicine course.) However, you can change the courses you wish to apply for at any time before the enrolment deadline. You can apply for up to four courses at a time, of which only two can be subject to Numerus Fixus. Studielink is not the same as UCAS and it serves a slightly different purpose. Also, if you create an account and do not receive prompt acknowledgement of this, something will have gone wrong. Because of their approach to customer service, it is vitally important that you do not lose your login and password as it is extremely difficult to retrieve these. If you have a problem during the application process, your first point of contact will usually be the university to which you are applying. However, their FAQs do not cover everything that could go wrong and there is no way to contact them directly except by post. You can find plenty of information about questions you may have on the Studielink website and the process usually works perfectly well. Every university has its own introduction page to Studielink and this will be where you first start to apply. Applications to Dutch universities should usually be made via Studielink.
