Selection
Your registration for the master Facility and Real Estate Management is complete. Once we have established that you meet all the entry requirements, we will organize an online intake interview with Programme Director Katinka Pani-Harreman. During this conversation, in English, you can present yourself and substantiate your motivation for the master. Together we will see if our full-time or part-time master Facility Management is a good match for you.
Registration complete
If our Programme Director approves your application, you are admitted to the master. You can now reserve your place. You can do this by paying the tuition fees in time (possible from 1 June). Furthermore, if applicable, you have to submit your visa application to the Zuyd University Immigration Office (before 1 July).
Non-EU students
For (Non-EU) international students different rules can apply regarding practical matters, such as the payment, visa and insurance. Get prepared by reading further below.
Visa requirements
Depending on your nationality, you might be required to apply for a student residence permit visa in the Netherlands. Find out whether this applies to your nationality. If you need a visa, make sure you check the requirements and prepare yourself for the visa application process. Team Immigration from Zuyd University of Applied Sciences will assist you with your application. After your application you will receive an email with instructions.
Healthcare insurance
For Non-EU students, a valid healthcare insurance is one of the conditions you will have to meet to receive your residence permit.
Study in full-time
As a Non-EU student requiring a visa, you can only choose the full-time version of the Master FREM. This is another requirement to be able to apply for a study visa.
