Continuing master's programme: application and registration

Please follow the instructions below (in the right order!) to ensure that your application and registration proceeds smoothly.

 

If you have obtained your bachelor’s degree:

Apply via Studielink for the appropriate continuing master’s programme. The deadline for this is 31 August, but students are advised to do so before 1 August.

 

If you have not obtained your bachelor’s degree:

1. Please ensure that you have re-registered via Studielink for your bachelor’s programme. The deadline for this is 31 August, but students are advised to do so before 1 August. 

and:

2. Apply for the appropriate continuing master’s programme. For more information, please contact your faculty.

Please note:

• Since September 2011, it is no longer possible to enrol in a study programme part-way through the academic year. For programmes that start in September, you will only be able to start in September; only for programmes that also have an official February start will it be possible to start in February. Exceptions may only be made in particular cases.
• The tuition fees that different students are required to pay can vary considerably. Factors such as your nationality, place of residence, and whether this is your first or second study programme all play an important role. Please consult our click model to find out exactly how much you will need to pay.
• You need to pay your tuition fee or return the direct debit authorisation form within two weeks after receiving the email regarding payment. If we do not receive your payment and the required documents in time, you can not be properly enrolled and will not be able to start your study programme!
  You can find information about paying your tuition fee here.
• In the past, it was possible to postpone your graduation after having completed your studies to, for instance, do an internship or do a minor. Due to a change in Dutch law, as of 1 September 2010, you graduate automatically as soon as you obtain the necessary ECTS and meet possible additional exam requirements. As of the academic year 2011/12 it is therefore no longer possible to postpone your graduation.
  

N.B. You can submit your request for study financing via the DUO website.
