Admission and application per prior education
Please note there is a separate page for students with a Bachelor in Psychology at the University of Groningen
Admission
-
Bachelor diploma Psychology (except 'Verkorte programma's')
-
Dutch or English language proficiency (see Language requirements)
-
Meet track-specific admission criteria for the tracks:
-Klinische Psychologie
-Clinical Forensic Psychology & Victimology
-Clinical Neuropsychology, Klinische Neuropsychologie
-Ontwikkelingspsychologie
The admission board will determine whether you are admissible based on your previous education (including courses you must still complete before the start of the master's) and submitted application form. In order to be admissible you must satisfy all course requirements. Therefore, carefully inspect these before applying, verify whether you will actually completely satisfy them all and provide all information requested in order to avoid disappointments.
Some weeks after the admission deadline, you will be informed whether you are admissible for the master track(s) of your choice, whether you need to participate in the selection procedure and the next steps in your admission process. For more information see ‘How to apply’ and Application procedure.
Selection procedure
Most master's tracks have more admissible students than available places. This means that for these tracks you will have to participate in the selection procedure by means of a selection test. A few tracks do not require a selection procedure and allow you to be placed immediately. For more information see Selection procedure.
Please note that until all requirements have been met before the start of the master's programme (including courses and diploma, possible proof of language proficiency and tuition fees), your admissibility will be considered conditional.
Application
-
Register at studielink.nl for the master Psychology. Please choose the track of your first choice via Studielink
-
Apply with the University of Groningen for the master via the application* form. Through this form you can register for a possible second track.
-
Apply by 1 March or 1 May (depending on the track of your first choice).
* Application for the master Psychology starting September 2024 is no longer possible due to the expiry of the application deadlines
Please note
-
You can only start the master if you have obtained your bachelor's degree before 1 September 2024.
-
Carefully make your choice of the preferred master track. Once placed, you cannot switch to other tracks. Even discontinuing your track and then applying for a different track is strongly disadvised, because even if you just started with your thesis, internship or skills course, you are not allowed to take these again in the new track. This means you would not be able to graduate in that track.
