Frequently Asked Questions for Honduras Students

Honduras is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so your documents must be legalized through the Honduran Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs, then through a Dutch consulate before Nuffic evaluation.
The Honduran community is quite small with about 15 students currently. You'll find more community through broader Central American or Latin American student organizations in Dutch universities.
You'll need to demonstrate access to approximately €21,000-33,000 annually for tuition and living expenses. This represents a significant cost increase compared to studying in Honduras, so proper financial planning is essential.
