Step 1: Entry requirements
Our entry requirements can be divided into three different blocks:
-
Previous education
We will consider the level and curriculum of your previous studies. -
Language requirements
You need to start off with a good command of English. Therefore, a proof of proficiency in English is required. -
GMAT or GRE requirements
A GMAT or GRE test score is required from all candidates who obtained their bachelor from a university in a non-EU/EEA country.
Previous education
The admission procedure includes evaluating your pre-university or academic credentials. To assess whether your educational/academic background meets the specific programme requirements, we will consider the level and curriculum of your undergraduate programme.
For specific requirements, please check the Master's programme pages.
Important to know: You need to apply for the programme of your choice in order for the Admissions Office to evaluate your educational background and assess your eligibility. Your application will be assessed on an individual basis. |
Not the right pre-education? Check our pre-Master programme!
When you have a deficiency in your academic background, you can start off in our pre-Master programme. Once you have successfully completed this pre-Master programme, you can enrol in the corresponding Master's programme.
Language requirements
Since you will follow all of our courses in English, you need to start off with a good command of the English language. You can check below the certificates we accept.
Please note that you may apply for a degree programme, even though you have not yet taken an English language test or while your test score is still insufficient. In that case, you might be conditionally admitted with one of the conditions for final admission being that you take and pass a (new) test.
Deadlines for providing English test results
The Admissions Office should have the test results before 1 September (start September) or 1 February (start February).
For non-EU/EEA students, the deadline is 1 June (start September) or 15 November (start February). Otherwise, there is insufficient time left for the visa application procedure.
GMAT or GRE requirements
Besides educational and language requirements you need to fulfil one extra requirement. A (minimum) GMAT or GRE test score is required from all candidates who obtained a bachelor from a university in a non-EU/EEA country in order to enter a Master of Science programme at the Faculty of Economics and Business.*
*This does not apply to the Research Master in Economics and Business. All applicants with a non-Dutch diploma need to have a GMAT/GRE. Read more about the GMAT/GRE requirements for the Research Master.
When should you submit your GMAT or GRE result?
When you apply online for a master programme in Economics and Business you should upload your GMAT or GRE score as part of your application package.
Please keep in mind that the Faculty of Economics and Business Admissions Office will only evaluate applications for these programmes after receipt of the GMAT or GRE test results.
