Limited places/decentralised selection
Please follow the procedure below to submit a complete application for the BSc International Business:
- Submit your application for the bachelor’s programme in International Business starting September 2012 as indicated under ‘How to Apply’. Please note: if you do not indicate that you want to participate in the decentralised selection procedure in Studielink, we will not be able to include you in this procedure, you will not get a ranking number and therefore you will not be able to start the programme in September 2012
- Once the Admissions Office has assessed your admissibility based on your transcripts, they will forward your file to us. At that time we will need the following documents
- Standard curriculum vitae: please find the format here. When you have finalised your cv, please convert it to PDF and upload it to My UM using the category ‘Curriculum vitae’.
- Motivation letter: please find the format here. When you have finalised your motivation essay, please convert it to PDF and upload it to My UM using the category ‘Motivation letter’.
- Supporting documents: to prove the experiences you have indicated in your curriculum vitae and motivation letter, you will need to submit additional documents, for example statements from employers, language course certificates, etc. Please find the format for these documents here. You can list the documents, then insert them into the file. When you have finalised the supporting documents, please convert the Word-file to PDF and upload it to My UM using the category ‘Other’.
- If your file is complete, you can inform us of that fact by submitting the statement you can find here. When you have finalised your file and the disclaimer, please convert the Word-file to PDF and upload it to My UM using the category ‘Disclaimer’. If you still need to gather documents, you shouldn’t submit this form yet. However if your file is complete well before the deadline, we can already present it to the committee and, depending on the outcome, may be able to already allocate a place to you by 1 April, provided of course that you meet all requirements for registration at UM and DUO. PLEASE NOTE: Documents submitted after submission of this form will no longer be taken into consideration and will not influence the outcome of the ranking. Experiences that are not supported by formal proof/supporting documents will not be counted in the evaluation, this can lead to a lower ranking.
- SBE Admissions will inform you of the status of the decentralised selection file. After 15 April we will gather all applications and present them to the committee decentralised selection. On 15 June your ranking number will be published via e-mail and in Studielink and you will receive a letter stating the outcome in the next few weeks. DUO will send out certificates of placements around 15 July to those students who can register for this programme. PLEASE NOTE: you will only receive the outcome if your file at DUO and at Maastricht University is complete.
