Utrecht's MSc International Management runs to a single September intake in Utrecht. For applicants with a **non-Dutch degree**, the deadlines depend on your profile: roughly **1 February** to be considered for a scholarship, **1 April** for non-EU/EEA passport holders (who need the longer lead time for a residence permit), and **1 June** for EU/EEA passport holders. Holders of a Dutch research-university degree apply on a later, separate timeline. The dates recur on the same annual cycle. Because these are the university's rounds, confirm the exact current-cycle deadline for the International Management master on Utrecht's application page, and line it up against the other schools on our [deadline tracker](/deadlines).
Utrecht University runs 3 application rounds. Earlier rounds generally carry higher acceptance odds and earlier scholarship visibility.
