There are different target groups who might be admissible to our Master or Pre-master programmes based on your bachelor programme. Please consult our Dutch Bachelor to ESE Master admission matrices to check whether your bachelor programme is eligible for admission.
Only if required by our admission matrices for the Master in Economics and Business, you must submit proof of your final or current GPA. A minimum GPA of 7.00 is required to apply.
