Pre-master Arts and Culture Studies - Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship

Admission and application

The pre-master programme Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship (60ec) starts in September. If you do not entirely meet the requirements for the master's programme, you may be eligible to enroll in this special bridging programme. This also applies to students of several related hbo (Dutch Higher Vocational Education) programmes. Provable basic knowledge of English is a must.

Early admission

The earlier you submit your application, the sooner you will know whether or not you are granted admission to the programme of your choice (see schedule below).

The deadline for application for programmes entirely taught in English is 15 April 2012. On that date you must have registered in Studielink and your documents need to be at the university. Applications arriving after the deadline will not be taken into consideration.

If you have not obtained the required degree yet, but expect to do so before 1 September 2012, you must also apply before 15 April 2012. In that case you might be eligible for a conditional offer.

For your application, please follow these steps:

STAP 1

Apply before 15 April 2012 for enrolment via Studielink (www.studielink.nl), the Dutch national application and registration system for students. Your data will be transmitted to Erasmus University for further verification and evaluation.

Immediately continue with step 2.

STAP 2
