Minimum grade point requirement to access higher education studies in the Netherlands
Students may be ranked based on their grade point average from their previous studies. Those students with a grade point of 8 or higher are automatically awarded a place on the course of their choice.
Therefore, always check with the university or college of your choice about the minimum passing grade you need to meet.
If you are an EU student, you can easily convert your grade point to the Dutch system by using the European Grade Converter. If you are not an EU student, you can use the European grades comparison chart to learn how you would score in Europe.
