果冻传媒

Have you graduated from a Dutch HBO or did you obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree from a Dutch university, and would you like to enroll in a master鈥檚 program at 果冻传媒? Your prior education has to be appropriate in order to be admitted, but what if your prior education isn鈥檛 suitable? Then you could make up for your deficiencies by completing a pre-master program.  

WHY CONTINUE STUDYING?

After graduation, you鈥檒l be facing the choice whether to continue studying or to apply for a job. There are several reasons why you might choose for a (pre-)master鈥檚 program:

• You would like to combine the best of both worlds: the practical knowledge of an HBO study with the academic skills gained at university
• You would like to deepen your knowledge by taking a master that corresponds with your bachelor, or to broaden your knowledge by taking a master with a slightly different approach
• You are interested in the scientific world and might want to apply for a PhD or PDEng program. In these programs, you鈥檒l be educated to become a researcher or a technological designer.

EVERY MASTER HAS ITS OWN PROGRAM

Every master鈥檚 program has its own pre-master program, which consists of 30 ECTS worth of courses and will take you 6 months to a year. Completing a pre-master program doesn鈥檛 give you a bachelor鈥檚 degree. Instead, you will receive admission to the matching master鈥檚 degree program.

In order to be able to start with a pre-master program, you need to comply with the English proficiency requirements. Also, most pre-master programs will ask for a confirmation of a sound level of mathematics. You鈥檒l need this to be able to finish the pre-master program successfully. You can find more information about the requirements for English and mathematics .

Are you now studying at a Dutch HBO, and are you already certain that you want to continue studying with a master鈥檚 degree program at 果冻传媒? You might want to take a look at our HBO-TOP programs. This is a track with which you鈥檒l receive direct admission to one of 果冻传媒鈥檚 master鈥檚 degrees.

Are you choosing for a (pre-)master program at a university after graduating from Dutch HBO? Keep in mind that there are differences between university and higher vocational education. The most important differences are:

• The professional knowledge that you鈥檒l gain is more theoretical and abstract and not directed at one or several specific job descriptions. You will become an expert in an academic field and will be able to better interpret developments and research.
• Your engagement with the subject matters will be deeper and more critical by studying scientific sources and by conducting research.
• There will be less direct contact hours and you often have to process the (English) study materials independently. 
• The pace with which you鈥檒l have to digest the study materials will be much higher than you鈥檙e used to at HBO. It is therefore very important to keep up with your studies right away.
