Questions

Admission

How do I apply for a course at The Hague Pathway College

Applications start at thehaguepathway.nl/apply, where prospective students select their program and preferred start date. While uploading all required documents is ideal, submissions can proceed even when paperwork remains incomplete—missing items can follow later. International Foundation programs typically receive offers within 48 hours, though qualifications not listed in the system may take up to two weeks for review.

Payment

How does payment work at The Hague Pathway College

Securing a place requires paying 50% of the course fee upfront, with the remainder due before visa processing begins. Since 2024, the Dutch Immigration Service (IND) has charged an additional €228 administrative fee for visa procedures—a sum that may adjust annually. Autumn intake payments must arrive by August 1, while winter intake deadlines fall on November 8. Non-EEA students also need to demonstrate €15,000 in available funds, plus whatever they’ve already paid toward tuition.

Visa

Do I need a visa to study at The Hague Pathway College?

EEA and Swiss nationals can enroll without visas or residence permits, but students from elsewhere require authorization for stays exceeding 90 days. The college handles all visa arrangements—independent applications aren’t permitted—and begins the process two to three months before courses start, providing the complete documentation package. Once granted, residence permits allow students to work up to 16 hours weekly during term and full-time over summer, though employers must arrange separate work authorization.

Support at The Hague Pathway College

What insurance and housing support does The Hague Pathway College offer?

Medical and personal liability insurance are mandatory for everyone in the Netherlands. The college recommends AON and shares details after deposits are received. Housing assistance comes through partnerships with Navitas and local agencies, which help first-year students locate furnished accommodation. Instructions and available options arrive shortly after deposit payment, allowing students to choose arrangements that suit their needs.
