  • Your school-leaving certificate must be judged equivalent to the Dutch HAVO or MBO level-4 diploma; Wittenborg says applications are not judged on grades. No specific maths or other subject requirement is published.
  • English: IELTS 6 or TOEFL equivalent; applicants whose complete previous education was in English may be exempt. Applicants with a gap of more than 5 years since leaving secondary school are not considered.

Costs

  • Wittenborg is a private institution, so it charges its own fee rather than the standard Dutch statutory fee: €5,800 a year for EU (including Irish), Dutch, UK and Ukrainian students (€11,800 for other international students). Study materials and online resources cost an extra €600 a year for bachelor programmes. Wittenborg does not state the academic year for these fees; they appear to be the current (2026/27) rates.
  • EU students may be eligible for a Dutch tuition-fee loan (DUO).
Open-entry course: if you meet the requirements, you get a place. Wittenborg is a private institution with fees well above the standard Dutch fee.
