I want to go back to school: what do I need to arrange and what am I entitled to?
You want to go back to school. Which study or training programme will you choose, how do you apply and how do you arrange study financing? We are happy to help young people out.
Which study/training programme is right for me
- Doorstroompunt Friesland Noord aims to help out young people between 18 and 27 years old without a starting qualification (senior secondary vocational education 2, senior general secondary education or pre-university education diploma). They can help you choose a programme of studies that suits you. Check out Doorstroompunt (opens in new tab)’s website.
- Studiekeuze123 (opens in new tab) can help you choose a higher professional or university education study programme.
Important steps
Once you have chosen a study or training programme, there are several things you need to take care of:
- Check out the website of the Government of the Netherlands (opens in new tab).
- Apply for your student loan/OV chip card (public transport card). You can do this via DUO (opens in new tab).
Good to know
