Please apply as early before the deadline as possible. That way, you give Avans enough time to process your application and, if applicable, apply for a visa. Furthermore, we urge you to start looking for accommodation in the Netherlands as soon as possible too.

*If the partner university is unable to nominate their students for the second semester (Spring) already by April 1st, it is still possible to nominate the students for the second semester until the deadline of October 1st. Students will then have the time to apply until the deadline of October 15th. Please take note that many programs might be full already by this time.
