deadlines for admission to NFP master’s degree programmes
Academic application deadlines
The deadlines for admission to master’s degree programmes vary and can change throughout the year. You should contact the Dutch institution directly for further information. It may occur that the Dutch institution’s deadline for applying for admission to a programme is later than the NFP deadline for fellowship applications. Nevertheless, fellowship applications can not be taken into consideration without a letter of admission to a master’s degree programme. On the master’s degree programmes overview, each entry includes the application deadlines for academic admission.

Fellowship application deadlines
There are two fellowship application deadlines for master’s degree programmes; one for programmes starting in the first quarter of the year and one for programmes starting in the third quarter of the year.
A letter of admission should be in the candidate’s possession well before the embassy’s deadline for submitting fellowship applications. Therefore, candidates are strongly advised to start the application procedure for admission as early as possible.
There is a good reason why NFP deadlines are scheduled so far in advance. Candidates need time to prepare for a long stay abroad. It takes at least three months to obtaina visa, for example, and other logistical arrangements also take time. The Dutch providers will inform all candidates of their decisions.
