Psychology (MSc)
Transferring to the master’s degree programme
To be admitted to the master’s degree programme in September 2025, you need to register in Studielink. You need to submit another application for admission, this time for the MSc Psychology. Your application must be completed by the 15th of May 2025. If you want to start the master’s degree programme in February 2026, the deadline is the 15th of November 2025.
To submit your application for admission to the MSc Psychology you will be asked to upload all the required documents again. However, instead of submitting all the required documents we advise you to upload the ‘decision on your admission’ which you received when applying to the pre-master’s programme. That way the Leiden University Admissions Office can easily identify you as a former pre-master’s student.
You will then receive a decision on your admission to the MSc Psychology valid for the specialisation for which you followed the pre-master’s programme. You are unconditionally admitted to the MSc Psychology once you have completed your pre-master’s programme, after which your registration will be completed.
It is also possible to submit an admission request for the selective master’s degree programme MSc in Psychology (research). This is treated as a completely new admission request, with associated admissions requirements, procedures and deadlines. Read more about the Psychology (research) (MSc) master’s degree programme.
