Entry requirements consist of the minimum academic study and mathematics requirements which all applicants must achieve to qualify for admission. The selection is based on your GPA.
Mathematics is a fundamental component of both the pre-Master’s and Master’s programme in Business Administration. An appropriate level of mathematics is therefore required before beginning the pre-Master’s programme. Applicants can fulfil this requirement in one of 3 ways:
Note that the mathematics requirement must be fulfilled on or before the application deadline. Applicants who do not meet the mathematics requirement are not eligible for admission.

If you do not meet the mathematic requirement you can take an extra exam at VWO Wiskunde A or B Mathematics Certificate from one of the above institutions.
There are many more applications from qualified candidates than there are places in the programme. As a result, the Admissions Office selects applicants for the pre-Master’s Business Administration programme based on their Grade Point Average (GPA).
Students are required to have a GPA of at least 7.5 in years 2 - 4 of their Bachelor’s programme in order to be eligible for selection.
This means that you are not automatically admitted when you have a 7.5 GPA, but that you will be considered for the selection and placed on the waitlist.
You can provide an updated transcript before the 2 January application deadline, updated transcripts after 2 January will not be taken into consideration. We do not have a waiting list after selection.
In total, there are 25 places available for February intake students that will be given to the applicants with the highest GPA until all places are filled.
Only fully completed applications inclusive of all documents will be processed. All applicants who have qualified for selection will be informed of the result of their application.
