Research Master in Philosophy 'Top Rated Programme'
The latest edition of the Higher Education Guide for Master’s degree programmes has awarded the ‘Top Rated Programme’ predicate to our Research Master in Philosophy programme.
The Guide includes descriptions of all officially registered Master's degree programmes in the Netherlands. Most of the programmes are also awarded points to express quality. Some programmes are so good that the editorial board awards them the predicate Top Rated Programme. These are programmes that scored 76 points or higher. The Top Rated Programme label was awarded to 142 Master's programmes throughout the country. Eighteen of the Master’s programmes taught at the University of Groningen were awarded this top accolade, including our Research Master in Philosophy. The quality assessment is based on student evaluations and the NVAO evaluation.
In November our Bachelor's programme in Philosophy was rated Top Programme for five years in a row.
