Selection
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)
If you apply to this programme and meet the entry requirements, you are selected on your GPA. Therefore, you are required to obtain an overall GPA of 7.0. If your GPA is lower, we will take your application into account, but you will need good grades on econometrics, statistics and mathematics, all on intermediate/advanced level.
How to calculate your GPA
Your GPA should be calculated over:
- all Bachelor's degree results (year 1-3). Any additional Bachelor’s courses have to be included as well.
- your Bachelor’s or Master’s, if you have a Bachelor’s as well as a Master’s degree. You need a GPA of at least 7.0 in the Bachelor’s or the Master’s.
-
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.
