💳 Bank Account

Opening a Dutch bank account

If you do not have a SEPA-account in an EU country, we strongly advise you to open a Dutch Bank Account after your arrival to facilitate money withdrawals, buying everyday products, and/or (international) transactions.

To create an account with a Dutch bank, you'll usually need a BSN (social security number), which is granted once you register with your local municipality. However, each bank may have its own set of requirements. The most significant are:

  • A valid identity document (for non-EU students/scholars: passport).
  • A Dutch address for the duration of your stay.
  • A proof of university enrollment.

Please look into your options to see which one is the greatest fit for you. The big three banks in The Netherlands are:

*SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area.

    Is the university making any changes to entry requirements (i.e. test results, required documents)?

    No, we do, as always, offer the (online) LTP test as a substitute for the GMAT.

    How are applications for university accommodation being handled? (FTMBA)

    Same as usual, except for the English proficiency test.

    Yes, we now accept applications for the 2023-2024 intake and there are currently no restrictions for international applicants.

    How is the university supporting applicants whose visa applications have been delayed? (FTMBA)

    Visa applications are not delayed at the moment. We will start Visa applications at the earliest possibility, and we will be flexible where needed.

    What advice is the university offering to applicants unable to take an English language test due to centers being closed?

    Submit your application without an English Proficiency test. We will assess the level of English during your interview or accept any other sort of proof of English. You might be asked to take an English proficiency test or other English course before the start of the program if there are doubts about the level of English. If needed, we will do two interviews.

    How is the university handling applicants whose exams have been canceled? (FTMBA)

    We offer the (online)LTP test as a substitute for the GMAT. Applications can be submitted without an English proficiency test and we accept any kind of proof of English at the moment.

    You can contact us via: m.wolters@nyenrode.nl or by phone: +31610215441.

    What is the status of planned campus admission open days/tours? If these events are cancelled, are they being replaced in any way (i.e. by online alternatives)?

    Most meetings will be organized online. A tour through the university can be arranged by appointment. Online one-to-one sessions are available upon request via program advisor Carola Paulusma: c.paulusma@nyenrode.nl.

    Are there any scholarships available for the PhD program?

    Nyenrode Business Universiteit does not offer scholarships for part-time PhD candidates at this time. The PhD School also does not currently facilitate any Nuffic NFP scholarships.

    I completed several courses at PhD level or a complete PhD program at a different institution. Can I receive an exemption for some or all courses in your program?

    Requests for exemptions for potential PhD candidates who have completed PhD courses and workshops or a complete PhD program at a different institution are decided upon on a case-by-case basis. The decision depends on the nature of the courses or workshops taken, the degree of overlap with our courses and workshops, and when the courses were completed. 

    Can I complete the PhD program from abroad?

    It is not possible to complete the PhD program from abroad.

    Certain elements of the program can be completed virtually, such as the yearly progress talk and your participation in small group intervision sessions. In part, meetings with your supervisory team can take place virtually, although you will also need to meet with your supervisory team at least once a year in person.

    Courses and workshops that are offered virtually or in a hybrid manner can also be completed from abroad. However, courses and workshops that are only offered live in Breukelen cannot be completed from abroad.

    Please keep in mind that Nyenrode does not cover travel expenses or housing fees for (international) part-time PhD candidates. You should be able to guarantee that you are able to pay the travel and subsistence costs for regular visits to Nyenrode to follow and complete the required components of the program. Also, if applicable, you have to show that you have obtained the relevant visa and other permits to stay and study in the Netherlands.

    Can I take one of the courses offered in the first phase of the PhD program during the second phase?

    It is not possible to miss one of the courses offered in the first phase of the program. The curriculum is organized in such a way that the courses and workshops in the second phase build upon the courses included in the first phase. If you are unable to attend all sessions of the courses in the first phase, you will need to postpone your enrollment to the next academic year. 

    What costs are not covered by the tuition fee?

    The yearly fees do not cover the costs for books and other course material; meals are not included. Some courses take place at Nyenrode on consecutive days. When students reserve a room at our campus hotel or one of the nearby hotel facilities, please keep in mind that these costs are not covered by the yearly fees. Details about our campus hotels and how to book can be found here: https://www.nyenrode.nl/en/information/facility/hotel. The fees also do not cover visits to (international) academic conferences or PhD consortia (i.e., travel costs, housing costs, subsistence costs and conference fees), or visa costs.
