   Getting in

   International applicants should check the official website for entry requirements, application steps, deadlines, and document requirements for the specific programme. It is also important to confirm whether your qualification matches the entry level for bachelor’s or master’s study, and to check any language or subject-specific requirements directly with admissions.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current tuition rate with its admissions office. Living costs in the Netherlands will still depend on housing, transport, food, and insurance, so you should budget for those separately.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm this for the programme you want before applying. You should also check visa requirements, recognition of your previous qualifications, tuition payment timing, health insurance, and whether your chosen campus is the right fit, since Saxion has three campuses in the eastern Netherlands.
