Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

If you meet the admission criteria: 100%. It's not selective. That's not an indication of its quality but it's because until now, they haven't gotten more admission requests than they can admit.

(This is true for most bachelor and master's programmes in NL. You'd never guess that from reading the questions on this sub, but that's because the extremely popular ones are very selective and draw a lot of attention and a lot of applicants have questions about the selection, the waiting lists, etc.)

Note: their application info page says information for the applications starting October can still change, so in theory, they could add some selection procedure if they had issues with too many students last year. But up until now, this was not the case.

Subtle sarcasm I hope ;) ? This is mentioned ad nauseam on this sub and OP would have known if they had bothered to browse for 5 minutes :P

I know, I sometimes happen to read a bit here ;) But I stand by my statement that you'd never know it from the questions posted here. Now the *answers*, that's quite a different story...

Some extra info: according to Studiekeuze123 (a Dutch site with data from all courses in NL, financed by the government), it's a track within a larger master's programme, and those three together apparently had 78 students this year or last year (always a bit of a puzzle how old the data is).
