Choosing the right bachelor's degree program increases your chances of success. We will help you by looking at whether the program you have applied for is a good match. This study-choice check is mandatory for all Dutch bachelor's degree programs that do not have a selection procedure.
Questionnaire, report, interview and study-choice days
After you have submitted your application to Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in Studielink, the Dutch enrollment portal, you will get an invitation to do the study-choice check.
The study-choice check consists of at least:
- An online questionnaire
- An advice report
- An interview with a representative of your program about the report (on campus or by telephone/MS Teams/Skype)
The study-choice check of most programs includes mandatory additional (online) activities (representative educational experience), such as a test, a video lecture, a presentation, and/or an assignment. The respective program determines whether these activities take place on campus and/or online.
The study-choice check will be finalised with the study-choice days.

For Chemical Engineering & Chemistry it is mandatory to attend the Study choice check event if you are living in the Netherlands. Students living outside the Netherlands will be invited for an online interview depending on the advice in the feedback report.
For the studies Industrial Engineering, Sustainable Innovation and Psychology & Technology, an online test will also take place after the online questionnaire. For this you will timely receive the homework to study and you can schedule the test yourself within a time frame of multiple days. This completes the advisory report, which will then be discussed in the advisory meeting. After the advisory meeting, we advise you to participate in one of the on-campus study choice afternoons, where you can meet prospective fellow students and experience representative first-year education.
Is the study-choice check outcome binding?
Completing the study-choice check is mandatory, but the outcome does not influence your admission to the program. The main purpose of the study-choice check is to help you reflect on your choice of program and the fit between the program and you. Consider the check a useful way to prepare yourself for your studies.
If the outcome is positive, and their appears a good fit between the program and you, you can take it as a good sign.
If the outcome indicates that the fit between you and the program is not very good, that means we recommend that you do further research into this program and others.
What to do if the outcome is not so good?
It may not be immediately clear what to do if the study-choice check indicates that the fit between the program and you is only so-so or even poor. To help you, we offer the option to talk to one of our study-choice coaches: to discuss topics like what to do next, how to find a bachelor's degree program that matches your skills and interests and how to ask the right questions to determine a good match. To request a conversation with a study-choice coach, send an email via the contact form.
If you have questions that do not have anything to do with the study-choice check outcome, for instance about the contents of a bachelor's degree program, please contact the program’s study advisor. Look for contact details on the homepage of that program or click on one of the bachelor programs below.
Vragenlijst, adviesrapport, adviesgesprek en studiekeuzedagen

De studiekeuzecheck bestaat uit:
- Een online vragenlijst
- Een adviesrapport
- Een adviesgesprek met een vertegenwoordiger van jouw gekozen opleiding
De studiekeuzecheck bevat bij de meeste opleidingen ook verplichte additionele activiteiten (representatieve onderwijservaring), zoals een toets, een (video)college, een presentatie en/of een opdracht. De betreffende opleiding bepaalt of deze activiteiten op de campus plaatvinden en/of online.

M.b.t. Industrial Design: Na afronding van de vragenlijst wordt je toegewezen aan de eerstvolgende beschikbare studiekeuze dag.
Zorg dat je de vragenlijst uiterlijk 11 juni hebt afgerond.
Voor de studies Industrial Engineering, Sustainable Innovation en Psychology & Technology vindt na de online vragenlijst ook een online toets plaats. Hiervoor ontvang je tijdig huiswerk om te bestuderen. De toets is zelf in te plannen binnen een tijdsbestek van een aantal dagen. Dit maakt het adviesrapport compleet wat vervolgens in het adviesgesprek naar voren komt. Wij adviseren je om na het adviesgesprek deel te nemen aan een van de on-campus studiekeuzemiddagen, waar je kennis kunt maken met toekomstige medestudenten en representatief eerstejaars onderwijs meemaakt.
