A pre-master’s after your HBO study

A number of departments offer bachelors of universities of professional education (HBO institutions) the possibility of taking a pre-master’s programme or following an individually tailored package of courses to eliminate deficiencies. Some departments allow you to enrol only after you have obtained your pre-master’s, while others allow you to compensate for any deficiencies while you are following your master’s programme.

For the master’s in Psychology you may need to take an entrance exam before you can be admitted to the pre-master’s.
For the master’s in Education and Child Studies you need to take an entrance exam before you can be admitted to the pre-master’s.

For specific information, select ‘HBO diploma’ as your prior education on the programme or specialisation page.
