Matching

Timeline

First, it is important that you have submitted your application in time via Studielink.

• You can take the online module between 5 January and 15 August.
• Once you have completed the matching process, you will be advised whether the programme is the right fit for you.
• About a week after you have completed the matching process, you will receive an email with instructions on what to do next and you can continue with your application.

What is matching?

Matching helps you assess whether the content and difficulty level of our programme match your interests and abilities.

• After taking part, you will receive a matching recommendation. This helps you determine whether you have sufficient motivation and study skills to start in September, increasing the likelihood that you are making the right choice.
• In case you find that this programme is not right for you after all, you will have time to explore alternative options. So do not wait too long to start matching.
• Matching is not binding: you decide for yourself whether to start a programme.

You will receive your advice by email within 24 hours. Would you like to discuss this advice? Please contact the study adviser.

“I participated in the matching module last year, as part of my application procedure. I already had read about it on the website, but I didn’t quite know what to expect. I hadn’t done anything in terms of preparation, and preparation indeed turned out to be not necessary. I really liked the online matching. There were a couple of mini lectures and also a text I had to read. I was asked a number of questions about these lectures and the text, and I also was asked to write about my motivation. I could identify with the material, the topics were exactly what I liked. This was a confirmation for me that I had chosen the right programme. And now that I am actually a student in the programme, I love it. So the matching was correct!”

How to sign up?

After submitting your application request in Studielink, you will receive an email within 10 working days containing login details for our online matching module. Please note that the matching module will only be available from 5 January onwards.

To be safe, check your spam folder. If you cannot find the message there either, please contact the Student Affairs Front Office.

Based on your own experiences and feedback from the programme, you can make a well-informed final decision about your study choice after the matching process.
