Step 1: Application Deadlines

When can I apply?

The digital application system (DANS) is available one month before the application deadline. It is advisable to apply well in advance, as you may encounter unforeseen problems during the application process including technical problems. Please be aware that it is your responsibility to apply within the application deadline. We do not accept applications submitted after the application deadline.
