Pre-Master's Programme
Generally, candidates with a bachelors degree from a (Dutch) HBO can be admitted to the MSc Chemistry only after completion of a Pre-Master's Programme ("schakelprogramma").
This Pre-Master's Programme of max. 30 EC is offered in the first semester.
After succesfully completing, admission to the MSc Chemistry will be granted (by
February 1st).
The Examination Board decides on the content of the Pre-Master's Programme for a
candidate. The standard program (27 EC) for different tracks is given in the
table below. Exemptions are possible on basis of the pre-education of the
candidate or relevant work experience.
