Applying to Stellinga College
Why Stellinga?
Thank you for your interest in Stellinga
International College. As an international
student, we are sure you will find our
university college an exciting place to study,
with like-minded and ambitious individuals.
Preparing and submitting your application
We have tried to make the application
process as easy as possible for you, but there
are a number of procedures you must follow.
All our courses are taught in English,
so first of all you will probably need to
submit proof of your English language
ability. We require an I E LTS score of 6.5
or another test result which is equivalent
(see appendix). You will also have to send
us your secondary school diploma, so
that we can evaluate it. If you have the
International Baccalaureate or a Dutch
VWO diploma, you don't need to provide
English language test results.
We will also require a personal statement.
This is a text of up to 1000 words in which
you introduce yourself, explain your interest
in our college, and why you want to study
your chosen course.
If you are from outside the European
Union (EU), it is important that you have an
entrance visa before you come to study in the
Netherlands, but we will apply for this for you.
We now only accept online applications,
so please ensure that you have all your
documents ready to upload before you
begin. Any documents that are not in English
originally will also need to be translated and
the translations also uploaded.
You will need a passport photograph; a copy
of your passport; copies of all your certificates,
diplomas, etc.; your proof of language ability
(see above); and your personal statement in
English.
What happens next?
Your application will then be considered.
If your initial application is successful, you
will be invited for an interview. This will be
conducted in English via Skype, over the
phone or on site, depending on whether
you can come and visit us. You will talk to
two or three members of staff for up to
30 minutes, and will be asked to elaborate
on your application documents and your
personal statement. We aim to inform you
of our decision in writing, within 4 weeks.
There are several possible outcomes: you
may not have been successful; you may be
offered a place at the college or you may be
offered a place on the waiting list. You will
need to reply to any offers within two weeks,
otherwise your place may be offered to
somebody else.
Good luck with your application.
