The admission requirements for the Bachelor in International Law (final year) are:

• Students need to have a secondary school certificate and a minimum of three years of higher education in Law

• In the cases where students hold foreign degrees Saxion University of Applied Sciences will determine the value of the secondary certificate and compare it to the Dutch certificate to determine its level. It should be the equivalent of the Dutch certificate of secondary education, e.g. the German Abitur (allgemeine Hochschulreife), the Britisch GCE A-levels or GSCE grades A, B or C, the French baccalaureat, or the American High School (top stream or plus 1 year of college).
