Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

For admission to this academic master programme an academic bachelor\xc2\x92s degree is required. In case you do not have a bachelor\xc2\x92s degree obtained in the Netherlands, our Admissions officer will evaluate if your bachelor\xc2\x92s degree can be considered a professional or an academic bachelor degree, compared to the Dutch educational system. The level of your research skills and theoretical background will be thoroughly evaluated, because an academic Master\xc2\x92s program needs a higher starting level than a professional bachelor diploma delivers.


English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
