Application procedure

Physiotherapy English Stream at Fontys has a decentralised selection. The objective of this decentralised selection is to choose the applicants based mainly on their motivation and language skills. The selection procedure is under the supervision of Dutch organisation DUO.

The application procedure consists of two steps. First, you have to apply for the Physiotherapy English Stream programme through Studielink (www.studielink.nl) before 15 May 2012. After this date it is no longer possible to apply for the programme. During the application process in Studielink you must indicate that you want to participate in the decentralised selection (see the Studielink information page with examples on our website). When you have finished your application, you will receive a confirmation email which says that you will participate in the decentralised selection.

Second, you must send us the following documents before 15 May 2012:

• Your motivation letter
