** The HEI will check if you meet their educational requirements. This includes your previous education as well as language
Action HEI requirements. In the evaluation of your qualification, the HEI may seek advice from EP-Nuffic (the Dutch ENIC-NARIC), but is
not obliged to do so. According to the Lisbon Recognition Convention, a foreign qualification is recognized, unless there are
Decision substantial differences.
*** Depending on the HEI/study programme of your choice, a selection procedure can be part of the admission procedure. Hence, it
is possible that your diploma is recognized, but that you are not selected on the basis of additional criteria (e.g. grades or work
experience). Information on selection criteria is provided by the HEI/study programme of your choice.
**** Complaints and grievances? If you have been informed that you are not admissible/not selected, you can contact the HEI for more
information. If you then still do not agree, you may file an official objection (appeal). According to law, Dutch HEI should have an
appeal procedure and provide information about the possibility to appeal to applicants.
