Application process

Application after your non-FEB BSc

You need to apply for enrolment for the pre-MSc of your choice via Studielink and in parallel send your course list with course codes to premsc.feb@rug.nl. Your application will then be processed and you can start the the customized entry package with a PreMSc enrolment. Please read the instructions for your registration in Studielink very carefully and follow the steps precisely. Once you have completed your Bachelor and your customized entry package, please register for the MSc via Studielink. You have to prove your level of mathematics (minimum of A or B) before entering the MSc programme.

Application during your non-FEB BSc

If you want to do the customized entry package during your non-FEB UG BSc, you do not have to apply through Studielink since you can do the courses as electives during your BSc. Put together your planned package and mail it to premsc.feb@rug.nl. After this, you can start right away with the courses. Once you have completed your Bachelor and your customized entry package, please register for the MSc via Studielink and send an email with your final package to premsc.feb rug.nl

Selective (Pre-)MSc Marketing since September 2023

Starting September 2023, the MSc Marketing and Pre-MSc Marketing is selective.

All students that have passed at least one of the courses of their customized entry package in or before the academic year 2022-2023 do not have to participate in the selection process. As soon as you apply for the Master, you should mail to marketingselection.feb@rug.nl and explain your situation.

Students that start their customized entry package during their non-FEB UG BSc in September 2023 or later do have to participate in the selection process for the Master.

Students that want to do the customized entry package AFTER finishing their non-FEB UG BSc have to apply for the Pre-MSc in Studielink and participate in the selection process for the Pre- Master.

There are two selection processes each year (first application deadline on March 1 and second on October 1).
