Checklist for study starters

Checklist for study starters

Are you starting a study soon? Then you often have to arrange a lot. This checklist will help you do that step by step. If you have to wait with a step, move on to the next step!

April May:

  • Enroll in Studielink (deadline 1 May for a maximum of 4 potential studies if the choice has not yet been made)
  • Apply for a student grant or LLLK
    Pass the state exam (or alternative test at an educational institution) (until 1 September)
  • Map out the admission requirements of the study(s).
  • Part-time study? Ask for help in finding a (BBL) workplace
  • Possibly request a UAF mentor or buddy/chat buddy

June July:

  • I have received conditional admission from school/university
  • I know which admission requirements I still have to meet
  • I have arranged an appreciation/translation diploma through IDW
  • I passed IELTS/TOEFL (if needed)
    I have a laptop (if needed)

After August 1:

  • I have arranged the payment of tuition fees
  • Travel expenses: if no student finance, then find a solution for travel expenses
  • I'm already saving for book money
  • Do you already need books or materials? Think second-hand, library and be critical whether you really have to buy everything right now or do you need a book later?
  • Final admission from school
  • Certificate of registration

After September 1:

  • Follow introduction day
  • Seek guidance from school itself
  • Connect with fellow students
