History (MA)

Pre-master's programme

The pre-master’s programme helps students remove deficiencies to meet the admission requirements to the History master’s programme.

If you have a bachelor’s degree in History from a university of applied sciences (HBO), you will be admitted to the MA History after completing the pre-master’s programme. This one-year programme of 60 EC is taught in Dutch.

If you have a bachelor’s degree from a research university that does not meet the requirements, you may be eligible for a pre-master programme (in Dutch) tailored to your individual background. If you have completed the imposed pre-master programme, you will be admitted to the Master’s programme.

Language requirements

The language requirements for a pre-master's programme are identical to the language requirements for the master's programme for which admission has been requested. These requirements must be met before the start of the pre-master.
