Admission Requirements: Bachelor's degree

Your foreign Bachelor's degree must be equivalent to a Bachelor's degree obtained at a Dutch research university (BA or BSc). Your Bachelor's degree should also be in the same area of study as the Master's degree that you are applying for.

A Bachelor's degree from a university of applied science is not accepted for direct admission. You may be required to follow a Pre-Master's programme first to improve your knowledge of the scientific field, before starting a Master's programme. Please note that it is not possible to apply directly for a Pre-Master's and not all studies offer a Pre-Master’s programme.
