Admission requirements
Logistics Management
Do you have a diploma from a Dutch education institution (diplomas from the ABC- & SSS Islands not included)? See if you meet the admission requirements for Dutch students.
International students
An equivalent of the Dutch diplomas of higher general secondary education (havo) or pre-university level (vwo) is generally required to enrol on a study programme at Breda University of Applied Sciences.
Please, find your level of education in the list of non-Dutch diplomas compared with the Dutch educational system. This list is not complete, if your diploma is not in this list we advise you to apply.
After having received your application, we will inform you if you meet the educational requirements. If there is any doubt, we will have your diploma evaluated by Nuffic (the Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education) for advice.
3-year track
If your secondary school diploma is comparable to the Dutch vwo-diploma, you may be eligible for admission into the three-year track.
