Research Master Early Modern Intellectual History

Application

If you meet the entry requirements (or expect to do so before 1 September 2012), we welcome your application.

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 Research Master programmes is 15 May 2012. On that date you must have registered in Studielink and the required 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 May 2012. In that case you might be eligible for a conditional offer.
