This means that a limited number of places is available. This is called 'numerus fixus'.</p> <p>If the number of students who apply exceeds the number of available places, a selection procedure will take place. The application process therefore differs from that of regular study programmes.</p> <h3>First check with your institution</h3> <p>You need to check with your institution whether the programme of your choice has a numerus fixus. They can also tell you whether you can submit an application through Studielink. Some institutions may want to do their own review first.</p> <h3>15 January application deadline</h3> <p>If you have to apply via Studielink, make sure you do so before 15 January 23:59 hours (CET). </p> <h3>Max 2 applications </h3> <p>For each academic year you can submit an application for a maximum of two numerus fixus programmes. The institution decides how many times you can participate in the selection of a specific programme. </p> <p>Medicine, Dentistry, Dental hygiene and Physiotherapy programmes are an exception; for these programmes you can only submit one application per programme per academic year. For example; you can鈥檛 apply for Medicine at two different universities, but you are allowed to apply for Medicine and Dentistry.</p> <h3>Selection based on ranking number</h3> <p>If the number of students who apply exceeds the number of available places, a selection will take place between 15 January and 15 April. The education institution decides what the selection will look like and will provide you with further information.</p> <p>Applicants in the selection procedure will receive a ranking number via Studielink on 15 April. This number is determined by the institution, based on their selection criteria. Depending on your ranking number and the number of places available, you may or may not be offered a place.</p> <h3>Places offered</h3> <p>If you are offered a place, you have to accept this place via Studielink within two weeks. If you don鈥檛 accept the place within two weeks, your place will be assigned to another student automatically.</p> <p>If you are not offered a place, there is still a small chance that one or more selected students do not accept their place. These places become available for the next student in line. For example, if there are 100 places available and one of the 100 selected student doesn鈥檛 accept, their place will be offered to the person with ranking number 101.</p> <p><a data-entity-substitution="media" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="4ff8e4ac-c30f-423a-9d77-879c56a1fbac" href="/sites/default/files/2020-06/step-by-step-plan-numerus-fixus-programmes.pdf" class=" link link--document">Step-by-step plan numerus fixus programmes (521.8 kB)</a></p> <h3>No selection needed</h3> <p>Sometimes the number of applicants for a numerus fixus programme is unexpectedly lower than the number of places available. In this case all applicants will be offered a place on 15 April. You do still have to accept this place within 2 weeks via Studielink.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class=" layout__content content-section "> <h2 id="acceptance" class="heading heading--decorated" data-heading="anchor-heading-263">Acceptance</h2> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class=" layout__content content-section "> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Your institution will send you a notification of acceptance.
