Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 1 March 2022, 9:13 AM)What is Basisregistratie Personen (BRP)? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: If you have moved to the Netherlands and intend to live here for more than 4 months, you must register yourself in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database). You can do this by visiting the City Hall of your municipality. Similarly,
if you move to another municipality in the Netherlands, you must notify the new
municipality of your change of address. Once you register in the BRP, you will receive your BSN. Failing to do these might result in withdrawal of study visa by the Dutch Immigration Office (IND). In such a case you will be required to leave the country and apply for a new MVV (entry visa) from your home country to continue with your studies. Eventually, it will cost you time and money. Important
note: You must
inform Registry Office (registrar@wittenborg.eu) whenever you change your address within
the Netherlands. The same applies when you are planning to deregister from the
City Hall and leave the country for a temporary period of time or permanently. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)What is MEEs? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all
new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow
normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to
complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the
end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will
be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students,
the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be
completed in order to graduate. Why MEE? The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS | ||

Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 15 July 2020, 5:01 PM)Work Permit: How can I get a work permit? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: If you are from the EU/EEA or Switzerland, you are free to work without restrictions. You do not need a work permit and there are no restrictions regarding working hours, other than the restrictions and rules stipulated by Dutch law in the Working Hours Act (ATW). If you are not from the EU/EEA or Switzerland, there are some restrictions if you want to work alongside your studies. Your employer has to provide you with a personal work permit. You can only work if you have this specific work permit and you can either work part-time for a maximum of 16 hours a week during the year, or full-time (40 hours a week) in summer, during the months of June, July and August. The employer needs to apply for your work permit, called TWV (tewerkstellingsvergunning) at least 5 weeks prior to the start of your employment. You can inform the company that if they do not know what to do they can refer to the websites Werk.nl and IND.nl for clear instructions. It will take between 2 to 5 weeks before approval is given. The application is free of charge. You cannot apply for the permit yourself, but you need to ask your employer a copy of the permit, after they have received the approval. The organization that issues work permits is called the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV). You can have the permit for 16 hours a week, or have the permit for full-time during summer. These are two different requests. If you need your registration letter to prove that you are a student at Wittenborg, please contact our Registrar department (registrar@wittenborg.eu ). | ||
