Non-degree seeking students
Students who have obtained a bachelor's degree in Psychology at a Dutch University and a master's degree in Psychology (specialisation DP, HS, NP and PL) of Maastricht University can follow a practical training, and if needed theoretical module(s), in order to meet the requirements for the Base-registration Psychodiagnostics (BAPD - Basis Aantekening Psychodiagnostiek) and Healthcare Requirement (GZ-verklaring).
As a non-degree seeking student you are entitled to follow one or more modules, and take part in the relevant exam(s) on the basis of a contract drawn up to that effect. If you achieve a satisfactory result, the Board of Examiners can issue a statement indicating this. Following courses as a non-degree seeking student cannot lead to the awarding of a degree.
