Colloquium Doctum assessments

The Colloquium Doctum allows you to be admitted to a university Bachelor’s programme if you are 21 or older and do not have the necessary degree for the programme of your choice. 

Radboud in’to Languages provides the Dutch and English assessments for the Colloquium Doctum. The particular assessments that you need to pass for admission depend on the degree programme you wish to enrol in and your previous education.

You cannot apply for the Colloquium Doctum through Radboud in’to Languages. If you wish to participate in the Colloquium Doctum, you must apply for your desired degree programme at uu77 via Studielink. If you are (conditionally) admitted to your desired degree programme, the admission decision will state which assessments and/or certificates you must submit. Please contact the admission officer of your desired degree programme for more information about this. To take part in the assessments at Radboud In'to Languages, you need to register with Radboud In'to Languages. You can find more information on how to register for the assessments below.
