Admission requirements
The pre-Master’s in Intelligent Technology offers three programme variants depending on your previous education. As such, your admissibility depends on whether your previous education fits with one of our three variants. You may be admissible to the pre-Master's if you have obtained or will obtain:
- a Bachelor’s degree from a research university in a Life/Social Sciences-related field with sufficient emphasis on neuroscience (e.g. Psychology, Biology and Biomedical Sciences). Applications will be individually evaluated, taking into consideration the applicant’s qualifications and background.
- a Bachelor’s degree from a research university in a STEM-related field; STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Online courses are normally not considered formal education in the evaluation of an applicant’s qualifications and background.
You may be admissible to the pre-Master's if you have obtained or will obtain a Bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences (in Dutch: hbo) in an area related to Computing Science (e.g. Informatica / Computing Science, Computational Biology, Computer Engineering/Technische Informatica).
In order to take part in this programme, you need to be proficient in both written and spoken English. Students with a Bachelor's degree obtained in Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), Ireland, New-Zealand, United Kingdom or the United States, where the language of instruction was English, are exempted from the language requirements. Other candidates need to have obtained one of the certificates below before the enrolment deadline (you will not be needing these certificates when you apply at Radboud University).

Application procedure
To apply for a programme, you need to submit a request for enrolment in Studielink before the application deadline. Before you apply, please check the admission requirements and then follow the steps below.
Steps
Step 1: Submit your enrolment request via Studielink
Apply for your chosen pre-Master’s programme via Studielink. You can apply for a programme for the following academic year from 1 October onwards.
Submitting a request for enrolment requires the following steps in Studielink.
- Go to 'Study programmes' and select 'Add new enrolment application'
- Search for your pre-Master’s programme by name: ‘Pre-Master’s in [name of study programme]’. The name of the pre-Master’s programme is often the name of the Master’s (specialisation).
- Select the educational institution: Radboud University
- Select the type of study programme: WO Bachelor
Register on time! You do not need to have completed your previous education when you apply. You can find the application deadline at the top of the Admission & Application page of the pre-Master's programme.
Step 2: Fill in the digital questionnaire
Because your prior education needs to be assessed, you will receive the login details for a digital questionnaire at the email address that you provided in Studielink. Log in, complete the questionnaire and upload the requested documents.
Please make sure that you submit your questionnaire and the documents before the application deadline of the pre-Master's. If you do this after the deadline, there is no guarantee that we will be able to process your application for admission in time. You can find the application deadline at the top of the Admission & Application page of the pre-Master's programme.
Step 3: Keep an eye on your inbox
Your request for admission will then be processed. Within approximately 3 weeks after you have submitted the digital questionnaire, Student Admissions will inform you by email about the admission decision. There are three possible outcomes:
- You will be granted unconditional admission, which means you can enrol for the programme.
- You will be granted conditional admission: there are conditions that you will need to fulfil before definitive admission can be granted. You will receive an email about what these conditions mean.
- You will not be granted admission: your application will then be withdrawn from Studielink and unfortunately you cannot enrol for this pre-Master's. You will receive further details by email.
The details of this outcome will be forwarded to the email address that you provided in Studielink.
Have you been admitted to the pre-Master’s?
You can now enrol for the programme.
Application procedure
How to apply for a pre-Master's programme if you have a non-Dutch previous education:
Students with a non-Dutch previous education cannot directly apply for a pre-Master’s. You must first apply for a selected Master's programme.
If you do not meet all the admission requirements for your selected Master's programme, you may be offered admission to the pre-Master's programme. This will be communicated in your admission email.
Completing the pre-Master's programme grants you direct admission to the Master's programme.
