Application instructions for prospective students with a non-Dutch bachelor degree

For applicants with a non-Dutch degree it is not possible to apply for the Pre-LLM programmes directly. Applicants must apply directly to their intended LLM programme and if the Admissions Board decides their educational background is not sufficient for direct admission to this LLM programme, they may decide to offer a place in a Pre-LLM programme instead. If this is the case, the Admissions Office will direct you to the procedure for applying to the Pre-LLM.  The deadline for applications to our LLM programmes is 1 May and the application dealine for the Pre-LLM programmes is 30 June.
