To take part in the audition you first have to apply via the online portal www.studielink.nl, where you can submit and manage your application. Requirements differ for EU and Non-EU students.
The pre-selection is online. You have to upload the audition assignment to your personal file. It will take a couple of days to proceed through all the steps, so make sure you start in time. The last audition week is not accessible for non-EEA candidates because of the Visa procedure. You only participate in one audition week.
After the pre-selection only selected candidates will advance to the live audition (for candidates living in the Netherlands/ Belgium) or to the online interview (for candidates living in other countries).
The auditions will take place in the following weeks:
9-13 February 2026 - deadline for uploading material for the preselection is 21 January 2026
20-24 April 2026 - deadline for uploading material for the preselection is 1 April 2026

Wondering how much your tuition will be? Please check out our tuition fee indicator.
Good to know: The Dutch Immigration Service (IND) requires non-EEA students to prove they have access to a certain amount of money per year or semester.
Besides tuition fees, there are more costs such as textbooks, introduction, excursions and a good laptop. Are you planning to move into a student room? Then you will pay rent and other living costs such as gas, water and internet. International students in the Netherlands typically spend €1100,- to €1500,- monthly, covering rent, insurance, food, transport, clothing, and more.
Check on DUO whether you are eligible for study financing or a student public transport pass.
