Maastricht Science Programme

Maastricht Science Programme offers students who are interested in a teaching career the opportunity to follow an educational minor. You must ask the Board of Examiners for permission to follow this minor. Before doing so, it is good to know that:

  • The minor is in Dutch: level NT-2/B2 is required (national requirements for teacher training)
  • Before being allowed to take the minor, you should have successfully completed the core courses and be in your fifth semester at MSP
  • The minor is a full-time activity, which means you should have past most, if not all, your modules up until taking the minor


You will get a Dutch teaching qualification when you pass the minor and successfully graduate. This qualification is recognized in the Netherlands.

If, when considering all this, you are interested in taking the minor and want to ask for permission to do so, please send an email to the Board of Examiners with your motivation:
