Document background
The Acceptance Letter From Supervisor is a crucial document in the Dutch academic system that formalizes the supervision relationship between an academic supervisor and a student or researcher. This document is typically required at the commencement of a research project, thesis, or dissertation work, and serves multiple purposes: it confirms the supervisor's commitment, establishes clear expectations, and meets institutional and legal requirements under Dutch education law. The letter should be drafted in accordance with the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (WHW) and institutional policies, containing essential information about the research project, supervision arrangements, and basic terms of the academic relationship. It's particularly important for graduate programs, research positions, and especially for international students who may need this documentation for visa purposes or funding requirements.
