Mobility Project Criteria
The ‘Mobility Project’ is a government initiative to create the opportunity for students with a nationality from outside the EU/EEA to receive education in the Netherlands. The Kronenburgh International Business School participates in this project.
The programs involved in the project are at the level of pre-bachelor / pre-university / foundation / EQF level 4. The programs can be described as vocational education. The students stay for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months. These students are at least 18 years old.
The pilot limitions:
A total of 100 students can participate in the pilot per year;
A maximum of 20 students per institution may participate in the pilot annually;
A maximum of 30% of all students have the same nationality.
Every time a student has submitted the necessary documents and is accepted by KIBS, KIBS sends a document to the Dutch government. The government responds with 2 working weeks regarding the acceptance of students for the pilot. The restriction may result in the student being accepted by KIBS but rejected by the government. Therefore, it is important to start the admission process as soon as possible.
If a student is accepted for the project, he can apply for a residence permit to follow these educational programs in the Netherlands.
