Help choosing a Master's

Click here to see a list of all of the Master’s programmes and specialisations at Radboud University.

You may choose to take a university Master’s programme after you have completed your Higher Professional Bachelor’s (HBO) degree. Following a pre-Master's programme will usually grant you admission to the Master’s. You can also do a minor during your HBO programme.

The transition matrix contains all the necessary information about the affiliation between the Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. This is useful information to have if you are directly applying for admission to Radboud University with your Bachelor’s degree from another educational institution.

We organise Master’s Open Days in spring and in autumn. Visit an open day to get information about the Master’s programmes, receive advice from the student advisors and experience the atmosphere at our campus. For some programmes you can also join online.

You can now compare Master's programmes on our website! This way you can clearly see the study programme, the number of contact hours and the admission requirements of different programmes side by side. You can add two or three programmes.

Can't come to campus for the Master's Open Day? You can also watch information presentations online about our Master's. Sign up for the platform and watch the videos wherever and whenever you want.

If you are still finding it hard to choose between a number of Master’s programmes, many Master’s programmes offer the option of being a Master’s student for a day. This will give you the chance to attend lectures and talk to current students about their own experience. It will also give you a good idea of what taking the Master’s programme will actually entail. 

If you have a specific question about a Master’s programme, or you would like to know more about the study load or the study programme itself, many programmes offer the option of chatting with a current Master’s student.

You can also schedule a meeting with the student advisor, so that you can ask questions about the study programme or admission, for example. The contact details of the student advisor can be found on the page of your chosen Master’s programme under ‘Contact’.
