Applicants living in the Netherlands must use their DigiD to log in.
Applicants living outside of the Netherlands can log in by creating a Studielink account.
After applying via Studielink, applicants receive an email from Maastricht University containing log in credentials for My UM.

Uploaded diplomas and/or grade lists which are not in English, French, German or Dutch need to be accompanied by an official translation in English;
