The Studielink Team

Essence of Studielink Services to institutions of higher education to support easy enrollment: Studielink is a smart 'postman', that questions students, collects data from various sources and delivers to institutions and students. Studielink does not own processes and data, these are owned by the educational institutions. Standardisation Institutions do not compete on administrative processes but on the quality of their education process Exchange of information between multiple partners requires standardization Data quality is better: earlier and better coordinated with all partners
