Master Application for Bachelor students

Procedure

The Graduate Programme Leader decides about the admission of a student on the basis of the advice given by the Student Admission Committee. Parallel and simultaneously to the admission proceeding for the Graduate Programme, the Graduate School Office will support the admission proceeding for a relevant master programme. The admission of a student to a master programme is a prerequisite for the admission to the Graduate School. The Director of Education is responsible for the admission to a master programme. Therefore, the Student Admission Committee, the Graduate Programme Leader and the Director of Education assess in close cooperation the application of the candidate.

Enrolment

The enrolment of students into the MSc phase of a Graduate Programme formally takes place once a year (in September). However, the flexibility of the programmes enables a second starting point in February for individual cases. Also, influx in the second year of the Graduate Programmes is a possibility for excellent students from another programme, school or university. In these cases individual adjustments to the programme will be necessary, depending on the background of the student, which means that the entrance date can be flexible. For students with an MSc degree, enrolment in the PhD phase in September or in February is possible. In all situations the Student Admission Committee will give advice about the applicant and his/her individual education programme requirements.

Requirements

The Graduate Programmes will be open for students with a BSc in relevant disciplines. Because of the anticipated background diversity of the group, the emphasis in learning will be on individual coaching. The Graduate Programmes are specifically research oriented, requiring excellent students with good research skills. Therefore, prospective graduate students go through a selection process based on their BSc study results, letter of motivation and an interview. For the enrolment procedure the following documents have to be provided:
