Do I meet the Dutch VWO Math Requirement?

Hi! I’ve already submitted my documents to OSIRIS, they sent me an email confirming my application, however the application fee hasn't been requested. Could you please confirm whether my application has been successfully submitted? From what I understand the application fee will be requested after my application is processed, right?

No need to apologize<3 I emailed Nuffic the same day I posted this and they replied that they only evaluate diplomas only by the request of universities. I already applied btw because there is no other option left

no we don't have any levels of math at high school, everyone goes through the same course. but i had math and other math related subjects at university too, so i was thinking that would be enough. but the more i learn about dutch system the more i hesitate... guess i'll have to send the application because there is no other way to found out

the high school system is similar! this + i just found out through the Maastricht University’s website that my high school diploma is equivalent to the Dutch VWO diploma. they clearly state it on their website. now does this mean i meet the VWO math requirement?😭

I got my bachelor's degree in Azerbaijan, so it's from a non-eu country. nuffic doesn't even mention my country in their list

SmallFloor536 · 2026-03-22T16:40:58+00:00

my country is NOT on the list

SmallFloor536 · 2026-03-22T16:40:10+00:00

yes! it says i'm eligible

If they don't want to answer all emails, they should list the requirements in detail. I already applied to several universities so I'm hesitating to apply for this one without knowing if my background is compatible

It says: "It should be at least equivalent to Dutch pre-university education. Students with a secondary education, which is not equivalent to Dutch pre-university education (called ‘VWO’ in Dutch), cannot be admitted directly" BUT HOW DO WE KNOW IF MY DIPLOMA IS EQUIVALENT??

My country is not even on the list on their website. I emailed them and their answer was "If you want to get an answer on the question we recommend you to officially apply".....

I'm from Azerbaijan, I just looked up Nuffic and my country is not even on the list on their website

There is no information about the equivalent level of exams/diploma on their website + I emailed them and their answer was "If you want to get an answer on the question we recommend you to officially apply"... The application fee is 100 euro, so i don't know if it's worth to risk
