How to apply
How to apply
New students (February 2027 intake)
You can book accommodation in The Hague even while your application for the study programme is still being processed. However, to receive the keys to your studio at the start of your rental contract, you must have completed your admission requirements by 15 January 2027 at the latest. This means:
- Your (foreign) diploma has been validated by the Admissions Office.
- Your proof of English proficiency has been verified by the Admissions Office (if applicable).
If you don't meet the admission requirements by the given deadline, your rental contract will unfortunately be cancelled.
Application form and allocation
The application period for accommodation for the February 2027 intake opens on 15 November 2026 at 9:00 AM CET.
As the number of available accommodations is limited, housing is allocated on a first come first served basis. Applicants who are not offered housing during the initial allocation will automatically be placed on the waiting list. Should any accommodation become available at a later stage, students on the waiting list may be contacted and offered housing.
Apply here (from 15 November onwards)Please note: Being eligible to apply for accommodation does not guarantee that housing can be offered.
- Priority is given to exchange students and first-year bachelor's students, so you may be placed on a waiting list.
- Due to legal regulations, there has to be a minimum of 1 semester between two DUWO contracts. So if you are currently renting a DUWO room, you are not eligible for a room in this round. You can apply again from 15 May 2027 onwards, for a contract starting in August 2027.
Students starting in September 2027
You can apply for housing starting from 15 May 2027.

You can only book accommodation through Inholland with DUWO for one year maximum. That means that you will have to find your own accommodation after the first year.
A lot of student accommodations 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 accommodation. You pay a one-time registration fee of €35.
