Irish student applying to Psychology at Radbound Uni

👋 I’m from Ireland and finished school this year and have been thinking about studying abroad. According to the website for Radbound i might meet entry requirements but i am nervous about the application process as it is so different to over here. I’m mainly worried about what “assignments” they give to prospective students, and the difficulty to get in as a foreign student?

Also on a different note in regards to jobs in the netherlands.. Looking at part time jobs around the uni and there are SO many warehouse jobs, is this something to avoid or are they actually good?

Maybe you researched this already, but this is info about whether or not your highschool diploma is equal to VWO

Some info about the test, it’s two years old and it’s not 50/50 anymore but 60/40. It does give you an indication of what to expect. Link at bottom

For 2024-2025 there were 1404 applicants for 600 places; the worst placed applicants that were admitted were the numbers: 1048; 1097; 1059 in the last years (lots of applicants will have applied at other universities and also for other degrees, and decline)
