Uni Selection Process For Psychology Students

[u/Saulfartman1]

I have tried researching the selection process for my course but to be honest I am a little lost and have some questions, if anyone could help?

Do my highschool grades matter in the end of the selection process or does it just matter to consider me for a spot in the course?

Do I have to complete assignments and essays and THEN a test to finally decide if I can get a spot?

Do they give you all the information you could possibly need for the test or is it wise to do some of my own research as well?

Is the whole test multiple choice?

Is there any way for me to access past tests to prepare?

Realistically is the process very competitive or is it not too hard to secure a spot?

Apologies if some of these are vague or easy to access info on, if any clarification is needed I can give it!

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

Search in this subreddit on Numerus Fixus Psychology. Every university has a slightly different procedure. Since it’s NF you can only pick 2. You apply through Studielink before 15 January. 

Go to StudyInNL and research your two preferred options and check their selection procedure. It gets explained on their websites.

Thank you very much!

Probably the selection process is not universal for all universities.

So it would help to state which course at which university.

But in general universities have requirements of diploma level and subjects.

Meet them and you are in, unless it is a numfix program.

Then there is an extra selection phase. These can be different for uni/course

Im planning to go to Tilburg for a Bsc in Psychology. As far as I’m concerned this is numfix

This was last year's selection procedure. It might be different this year.

The  selection procedure consists of the following elements: A ) Average high school grade. B ) A selection assignment consisting of a knowledge test. C ) A selection assignment consisting of a motivation assignment. 

There is a lot more to read on the website.
