How to apply

How to apply

You can already get a DUWO room while still in the application process for the study programme. However, to receive the keys of your room at the start of the contract, your application for the study programme has to be complete on 1 August 2026 latest.

This means that:

1. Your (foreign) diploma has been validated by the Admissions Office.
2. Your proof of English proficiency has been checked by the Admissions Office (if applicable).

If your application is not complete by 1 August 2026, we will cancel your rental contract.

Fixed renting periods for academic year 2026/2027

• Fall semester 2026-27: 17 August - 22 January
• Spring semester 2026-27: 26 January - 30 July
• Full year (2 semesters): 17 August - 30 July

When signing the tenancy agreement, you commit to paying the rent until the last day of the rental period. It is not possible to cancel the tenancy agreement before the end date. 

Also, please keep in mind that it is not possible to extend the rental contract after the end-date mentioned above.

In case you decide to withdraw from the study programme before the start of the semester, you will still have to pay the first month rent + administration costs.

After your first year

After your first year

You can only book a room through Inholland with DUWO for one year maximum. That means that you will have to find your own room after the first year.

A lot of student rooms in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Delft and Haarlem are listed on ROOM.nl. We recommend you to register there as soon as possible (even before coming to the Netherlands), as you will build waiting time from the moment of registration. This gives you a higher chance to be eligible for a room. You pay a one-time registration fee of €35.
