Degree from a Dutch research university

You are welcome to apply for Global Urban Transformations. The decision of the admissions committee will be based largely on:

• prior education (including (optional) course profile and specific knowledge)
• motivation and talent
• grade point average (GPA)

The minimum capacities that are required in prior education concern:

• Bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 3.5 (on a scale of 1-4) or at least 7.5 under the Dutch system;
• knowledge and experience with basic methods and techniques in geographic or social-science research.

Please note that no one will be admitted to this programme directly. A decision will always be made on a case-by-case basis to determine whether there are sufficient grounds for admission. Applicants should preferably hold a university degree in a related subject, such as:

• University Bachelor's degree in Human Geography and/or Urban and Regional Planning
• University Bachelor's degree in another Spatial, Social or Economic Science discipline with at least a minor of 30 ECTS in Human Geography and/or Urban and Regional Planning; this requirement includes students from a University College
• University Master's degree in a Human Geography or Planning specialisation
• University Master's degree in another Social or Economic Science field with a substantial amount of ‘spatial’ and ‘research’ content

Global Urban Transformations does not facilitate admissions with a tailored Pre-Master’s programme.
