After your application (master's)

After you have made a request at Studielink you will receive a separate email from Wageningen University with information how to activate an account in the application portal to upload the required documents.

Only complete applications can be submitted and will be pre-evaluated before they will be forwarded to the academic admission committee. Note that your application will not be evaluated if it was not complete before the deadline.

Your application and uploaded documents will be evaluated by the admission office once you have uploaded and submitted documents in the application portal. You will be informed via email if one of your uploaded documents has been rejected or if we require additional information regarding your application.
