Numerus Fixus for Fontys employees

A maximum of 5 spots can be assigned to Fontys ICT employees. All remaining spots will be assigned to new students in order of application.

When you have a Dutch mbo4-, havo-, or vwo-diploma you already meet the language requirements, and you are therefore exempted from taking a language test.

For all programmes conducted in English, Fontys has set minimum language requirements. Generally, in order to prove that you meet these requirements, you will be asked to send in one of the recognised English language certificates. Based on the country where you obtained your previous education, you might be exempted from providing a language certificate.

As a non-EU/EEA applicant, studying the Netherlands will require an Entry Visa* (MVV) and a Residence Permit. Fontys will apply on behalf of its students for these documents. We recommend you start the process early, i.e. approximately three months before you plan to enter the Netherlands.

*Except nationals from Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, United States of America, United Kingdom, Vatican City State and Switzerland.
