Selection Criteria 

Meeting the entry requirements is just the first step. Besides the entry requirements, you need to meet the selection criteria. This means that your application will be compared with other applicants. The selection is based on your GPA and motivation letter. 

  • 1. Your Grade Point Average (GPA)

    We are looking for students who have shown academic potential to keep up with the high level and workload of the programme. We will assess your application in its entirety, but we are looking for students with good results in their Bachelor’s degree. 

    Therefore, one of the criteria on which your application will be assessed is the Grade Point Average (GPA). We do not require a specific minimum GPA for this programme, but we will compare and assess the performance on all selection criteria to make an informed decision regarding placement into the programme.

  • 2. Your motivation letter

    The motivation letter (max. one A4)  allows you to explain why you would be a good fit for the  Master’s programme and which experiences have led you to this decision.
