After your application (master's)
You have just applied for a master's programme at Wageningen University & Research. But what's next, what happens after your application? We have listed the most important information for you here below.
What you need to arrange
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.
When you disagree with the decision about your admission to a degree programme, you may submit an appeal. You will follow the procedure stated underneath.
Step 1: Get in touch with the Admissions Office using the contact form. Indicate that you do not agree with the decision and ask for an explanation.
Step 2: The Admissions Office will reply and will refer you to the concerning Admissions Committee if necessary. If you are unable to reach a solution within 3 to 4 weeks, you may consider to start a formal procedure to submit an appeal.

PLEASE NOTE: The appeal period is not suspended during steps 1 and 2!

If you disagree with the outcome of your admission decision or would like more insight into the reasons behind it, you have the option to submit an appeal.
