First we check if we have all the information we need to assess your application. In the next step we determine whether you can be admitted to the study programme. The admissions committee will assess your application. It may take some time before you hear whether you have been admitted.

Finally this is the result for your application. There are three different outcomes:

Eligible & conditionally eligible

You've received an email with an admission notice for your application, together with instructions how you need to confirm your application.

If you've received a conditional admission: this means that you do not yet fully comply with all the requirements for the study programme of your choice. The correspondence sent to you explains what further actions you need to take for final admission.

Pre-Master

You currently do not meet all the requirements for admission to the Master's programme. You are however admissible to the Pre-Master's programme. After finishing this Pre-Master you can directly start your Master.

Declined

In some cases you do not meet the admission requirements for the study programme of your choice. Your application will be rejected. This result is explained in the letter that is sent to you by email.
