Hydrology

Step 1: Meet admission criteria

In order to gain admission to one of our Master’s programmes, you will need to have at least a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited research university including at least three full years of academic study amounting to a minimum of 180 ECTS or equivalent. We do not require a GRE or GMAT test score.

Specific admission requirements for the MSc Hydrology programme:

The Master’s programme in Hydrology requires BSc-level knowledge of physics, mathematics, chemistry and basic earth science subjects. The Admission Board decides on admission of any applicant, both Dutch and non-Dutch. The decision is based on the applicant’s educational background. If the educational background is deemed insufficient, the applicant may still be admitted with the condition that certain BSc-level courses are included in his or her MSc programme. If the specified BSc courses exceed 18 ECTS, the student may be advised to follow a pre-master’s programme before being admitted to the MSc programme.

Students with a Bachelor\'s degree in Earth Sciences – Geology or Physical Geography – or other natural sciences from Dutch universities are eligible for admission with few or no specific course requirements in their optional programme component. See the Teaching and Exam Regulations for more details.
