Keuzegids Masters 2026: two Master's programmes are excellent, 14 master's programmes score above average

In the new Keuzegids Masters 2026, which has been published on 5 March 2026, students rate 14 Master's programmes at Radboud University above average compared to the national average. The Master's programmes Molecular Mechanisms of Disease (research) and Business and Law (research) has also been rated as excellent.

The Keuzegids Masters compares all master's programmes at Dutch universities and HBO studies. Master's programmes are compared on five core topics (content, teachers, testing, career preparation and atmosphere). A score can be obtained for each theme, ranging from (very below average) to ++ (very above average). The results of the National Student Survey (NSE) 2025 are used as a basis.
