It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. UWC Maastricht provides an English-language education to a diverse group of students from over 100 national identities. The school offers Primary (4–11 years), Middle Years Programme (11–16 years), and Diploma Programme or Career-related Programme (16–19 years), with around 300 students in each program. The campus accommodates both residential on-campus living for DP/CP students and day-student arrangements for others.
2. Day Students begin the admissions process by submitting an application via the online portal and paying the non-refundable €790 application fee per student. You will receive instructions for payment after you submit your application. The application is managed through the online system.
3. Review: The review process begins once all required materials are received. The review typically takes around four weeks, provided no additional documents are needed. If additional documents are required, the timeline may be extended.
4. Priority for admission is given to several groups. Current students re-enrolling receive priority. Siblings of current UWC Maastricht students with completed applications submitted by 1 April for the upcoming school year also receive priority. Eligible children of UWC Maastricht staff and students supported by stakeholders' financial guarantees are prioritized. Internationally mobile families whose children lack local educational options due to language or residency are also considered.
5. Residential option: For the Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme, residential students who live on campus are welcome. If applying as a residential student, inquiries can be directed through the admissions process or via the appropriate national channels.
