About the Master's Qualifying Programme
This programme is designed to prepare international graduates for entry to Master's level studies at the University of Amsterdam.
This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). You will undertake up to 25 hours of classroom-based study per week. Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to the classroom-based hours.
Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate term and will include formative and summative assignments and other assessment tasks. Assessments will be designed to demonstrate learning across the individual modules of the programme and to allow you to experience a wide range of the assessment methods used in Dutch postgraduate programmes.
Assessments will normally include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination, and unseen written examinations.
