Frequently Asked

Application Submission

When does document acceptance begin?

Registration for the academic year typically opens in October. Submitting early gives applicants more flexibility when choosing assessment dates, while decisions arrive faster—which helps those who prefer planning their next steps without rushing through last-minute arrangements.

Can I apply without final grades?

Predicted grades or recent academic transcripts work perfectly fine at this stage. The school only requires final certificate confirmation closer to enrollment, so there’s no need to wait until everything’s officially documented before starting the application process.

What if language or economics requirements aren’t met?

Enrolling in courses at accredited institutions solves this. When applying, you only need to confirm your enrollment rather than presenting a completed certificate, which means you can work on developing those skills alongside your application without delaying anything.

Is hospitality experience necessary?

While not mandatory, prior experience does give candidates an edge. Familiarity with how the industry operates helps students engage more deeply with coursework and adapt more quickly when working through professional scenarios.

Assessment Events

How should I prepare for the assessment day?

Candidates receive access to preparatory webinars and materials created by Hotelschool the Hague ambassadors, whose insights often prove invaluable. Online Q&A sessions provide additional support, allowing participants to clarify details and address any concerns before the actual assessment.

What if I live abroad?

The school organizes assessment events in various countries for international candidates, which eliminates the need to arrange urgent visa applications and lets you focus entirely on preparation instead of travel logistics.
