CROHO programme code lookup

What the codes tell you

There are two codes and they do different jobs. The BRIN code identifies the institution — for example 21PB is Leiden University. The CROHO code identifies one specific programme in the Central Register of Higher Education Programmes (CROHO). A programme is recognised as a Dutch higher-education programme when it appears in the register against that institution.

Why you should check it before you apply

• The register is the official record of which programmes an institution may offer as recognised Dutch degrees, after accreditation by the NVAO.
• The register also records the language of instruction, study load in ECTS credits and the study forms (full-time, part-time, dual) each programme is registered for. Where a language is not recorded, this site shows “Not recorded” rather than guessing.
• Institutions outside the publicly funded set can still appear in the register; check which kind of institution you are dealing with before you pay a deposit.

Where these codes come from

Every code on this page is taken directly from the DUO open dataset Overzicht Erkenningen ho (DUO — Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs, onderwijsdata.duo.nl, licence CC BY 4.0) and is reproduced exactly as published — we do not derive, reformat or guess codes.

The register is the authority, not this page. Registrations change: always confirm the current entry at Studiekeuze123.
