Prepare your application documents

To determine your admissibility to the International Bachelor Economics and Business Economics programme, please upload the following documents via the EUR Admission Portal. Click each section below for detailed instructions. 

Please keep our application deadline of 15 January in mind. We highly recommend you to prepare the documents well in time. Some documents require help from your school counsellor or passing an exam at an external institution.

  • Upload a colour copy of your original secondary school diploma
  • If the diploma is not in Dutch or English, include an official translation by a sworn translator or notary office. 
  • Combine the original document and translation into one PDF-file.

  • Download the graduation statement.
  • Print it and ask your school to complete, sign and stamp it. 
  • If your mathematics curriculum has different levels (e.g. basic/advanced, 3/5 hours), make sure to mention your level.
  • If your educational system knows different tracks or specialisations, please mention this. (e.g., classical track or science track).

  • Upload a colour copy of your original (final) secondary school transcript.
  • If your country issues separate lists for final school grades and final (national) exams, include both.
  • If your final grade transcript is not in Dutch or English, include an official translation by a sworn translator or notary office in the same PDF-file as the original transcript.
  • VWO students: we only accept transcripts in the UNL format.

  • Upload a certified grade list for 2025-2026. Certified means signed and stamped by your school.
  • Screenshots, Excel files or self-made Word documents will not be accepted.
  • Documents not issued in Dutch or English require an official translation prepared by your school or a sworn translator or notary.
  • Do not upload predicted grades.
  • VWO students: we only accept transcripts in the UNL format.

  • Your curriculum vitae helps us to understand your educational background.
  • Clearly list the school(s) you attended and type of education for each year. 
  • In the case of a gap year, include which experience you gained.
  • We do not have a preferred layout or format.

  • Proof of English proficiency may be required.
  • Check the admissions page for accepted tests and scores. 
  • No need to send us a paper version via postal services.

  • Proof of mathematics proficiency may be required, see the admission page
  • We kindly refer to our admissions website for the list of accepted tests and minimum scores. 
  • If you choose OMPT, please make sure to approve Erasmus School of Economics in your OMPT-account to verify your results. If you seek admission based on a diploma that requires you to take a mathematics entrance test, we urge you to submit your application as early as possible. If you decide to apply late, you risk not having enough time to prepare to take the test successfully and submit the results on time.

Use this section to upload:

  • Transcript(s) from other higher education institutes. Applicable if you are currently enrolled at another higher education institute.
