Dutch Educational System
The Dutch higher education is based on a binary system that distinguishes:
- Research-oriented higher education, which is mainly provided at research universities (WO Bachelor).
- Higher professional education, which is mainly provided at universities of applied sciences (HBO Bachelor).
Being a research university, UT will focus on academically oriented work. That is why the admission committee assesses your prior education to see whether it corresponds with a bachelor's degree from a Dutch research university.
Keep in mind that if you have a bachelor’s degree from a country where there is no binary system, it may differ from the bachelor’s equivalence in the Netherlands, which influences your admissibility. Read more about the education system of the Netherlands.
Basic requirements per country
To follow a master's programme at UT, you have to meet the basic requirements; you should have at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised university or accredited academic institution in a discipline related to the master’s programme of your choice.
