Would you like to follow a course at a college for applied science (HBO) but don’t quite meet the requirements for Dutch higher education?
This entrance examination is intended for prospective national or international students who are 21 years or older on our program’s start date.
By doing the 21+ Admission Test you will take an entrance examination and receive advice on your abilities to follow the study program you have chosen. We use the Test to determine whether your knowledge and skills are of a sufficient level to complete a degree program at our Haarlem Campus.
Your results are compared to those of a reference group. This means you don’t have to achieve a perfect score for a positive result.
