In the context of COVID-19 it is possible, under certain conditions, to make use of the so called ‘smooth transfer’ from a bachelor’s or pre-master’s programme to a master’s programme for the academic year 2021-2022.
This means that you may be allowed to start with a master’s programme even if you have not yet completed your bachelor’s or pre-master’s programme. Institutions/programmes are allowed to admit (under conditions) students who didn’t finish the bachelor or pre-master yet. The rules apply for both for the September and February intake and for students who study at the University of Twente and to students who are pursuing a bachelor’s degree elsewhere, please note that not all master’s programmes offer this option.
First year students
If you are a first-year student, you will receive a question during your Osiris application with regard to the smooth transfer.
Senior students
If you are a senior student, we ask you to please contact the study adviser of the master of your choice to discuss whether it is possible for you to make use of the ‘smooth transfer’.
Please note: this temporary smooth transfer is only valid for the transfer to the next academic year (from September 2021 - August 2022).
