Pre-Master's Economics: If your Bachelor's diploma is obtained outside of the Netherlands
If your prior education is marked insufficient for direct admission to the Master's programme in Economics, for example you are lacking some courses for the specialisation you prefer, you may be offered to enrol in one of our pre-Master's programmes in English. These are programmes that have been especially designed to bridge the gap between your prior education and the Economics Master's programme specialisation. This pre-Master programme typically means a year of extra study, and after successfully completing it you will be directly admitted to the Master's programme in Economics.
In general, the pre-Master’s programme consists of core courses from our Bachelor’s programme, as well as courses in academic skills and methodology. Each Master’s specialisation has a specific pre-Master’s programme. Successful completion of this specific pre-Master’s will allow you to enrol in the associated Master’s specialisation. There are general courses that will be offered to all the programmes.
