How to apply for programmes at Maastricht University

For making a choice of study please visit: this link for Bachelor’s or this link for Master’s programme.
Please follow the three stage process on internet:
Register and apply in Dutch governmental portal: www.studielink.nl
Register/apply in Maastricht University portal: MyUM
Upload documents in MyUM
1. Register in Studielink

To request an enrolment in Studielink, please take the following steps:
Apply for an account in Studielink (www.studielink.nl). First click on the British flag for English. Choose ‘Request Log-in details’. Answer the questions and you will receive an email with your Studielink login details within minutes.
Login to Studielink, set a personal password, enter your personal data and select ‘new enrolment application’.
Select ‘Universiteit Maastricht’ and then the programme of your choice.

In the following steps you will need to fill in:
Diploma or diplomas which you have obtained or will obtain
Payment information such as bank account number from which your tuition fees will be paid. This information can only be changed via the university and not in Studielink so please give a bank account only when you are sure it will be used to pay the fees. If you are not sure, you can supply this information later. However, be careful not to forget it as it is essential for processing your payments and therefore your registration.
Finish by clicking ‘Send my enrolment application’.
You will receive several confirmation e-mails from Studielink that do not require follow-up. Maastricht University will now contact you to finish you application in the Maastricht University portal (MyUM portal) within 2 days max. This Maastricht University e-mail consists of a confirmation and MyUM log-in details. You need these to continue your application.
2. Apply and register via the My UM portal

Note:For some programmes, i.e. Private Master’s (not listed in Studielink), the application process starts here. In that case you have to make an account for MyUM by going here: https://myum.unimaas.nl/forms/admission

In all other cases, as explained before once you have submitted your application via Studielink, you will receive an email from Maastricht University containing login details for the My UM portal, where you can finish the application process. Please use a recent edition of Internet Explorer to fill in the application.
Go to the MyUM-portal by following the link in the e-mail (also to be found on www.maastrichtuniversity.nl, on the right side) and fill out the Adobeforms. Many answer fields already contain text, based on the information you gave in Studielink.
Please finish all forms at once. Once you have ended and confirmed your application you can’t get back in anymore. In Studielink you can adjust information after saving.
3. Upload documents

You can finish you application by uploading the relevant documents in the MyUM portal. When you log in to MyUM, you can see an option ‘upload documents’ on the left. You don’t need to upload all the documents at once. After saving you can return in this portal!
