Prepare for university subject deficiency exams.

Some international students must meet additional subject requirements before they can begin their bachelor's degree in the Netherlands. This is often referred to as a subject deficiency.

A subject deficiency usually means that your prior education does not fully meet the admission requirements for your chosen university program.

In some cases, students must take an additional exam in a specific subject, often at the VWO level.

Bright Panda supports students who need targeted, individual guidance to prepare for these exams in time.

Marieke van der Berg

Emma's mother (VWO 6, Leiden)

Our daughter is in 6 V and wants to do medicine. Needed intensive supervision and was paired with a 3rd year medical student. How fantastic is this. Oh and if there is no click with the teacher, you can just indicate that and we will see how they can best support YOUR child. I didn't regret calling them in for a minute.

Tim's father (HAVO 3, Rotterdam)

We are very satisfied with Brightpanda. Our children have a good connection with the tutoring staff and we notice that the organization also pays a lot of attention to selection and guidance. So this also saved us a lot of time and energy as parents. We are happy to go back to the next school year!

I had math tutoring for 2 years and made it to VWO 5, and now I'm finally able to do math C. Explaining difficult material in very simple steps was my salvation!
