RELATED HBO-PROGRAMMES

 Mind the deadlines: not all deadlines are the same at UT (or for each group)
 Even if you know that you first need to do pre-master,
the starting date given at your application is the starting
date that you are able to start studying at the UT!
 Mind the difference between application and enrolment (or registration):
application means you ask if you are eligible, with enrolment you say you
will come (if your application is accepted (with or without a bridging
programme). Not all official documents are directly needed for application
(such as the diploma), however these are needed for enrolment (thus before
you can start at UT)
