The Language and Preparatory Programme (Taal- en Schakeltraject, or TST) is for those who do not speak Dutch for the Dutch as a Second Language (NT2) level II state examination and to help prospective students who do not speak Dutch prepare for their studies. It consists of a curriculum that integrates study of Dutch as a Second Language, Bachelor's level skills and preparatory courses with a combined focus on subject-specific language and knowledge (i.e. language instruction geared towards a specific discipline).
