• A certified English or German translation of your official HAVO or VWO diploma, including an overview of subjects and grades

The HAVO or VWO diploma issued in English by DUO is not sufficient because it does not currently include an overview of subjects and grades.

The MBO-4 diploma issued in English by DUO is not sufficient because it does not currently include an overview of subjects and grades.

If you have completed your bachelor’s degree, we will also need:

If your study programme was divided into a propedeuse and a main phase of study, we will also need a transcript of records for the propedeuse.

We are unable to accept a “Study Progress Overview“/“Studievoortgangsoverzicht“ that does not include both the name of the issuing institution and a signature and stamp from the university.

We are also unable to accept transcripts that do not specify to which study programme the modules belong.

If your original certificates are in Dutch, we will need also a certified translation of the originals into German or English.
