Please re-register via Studielink.
Studielink is the national Dutch system for registration in Higher Education. You will first have to re-register with Studielink and continue in the Erasmus University Portal to apply to the ISS programme. You took these steps last year and will have to follow the same route this year.
Registration is possible from 01 October 2024 for the 2025/2026 academic year.
