Pre-Master's programme

Study programme

Your Pre-Master’s programme consists of courses from our BA Media and Culture programme, so you will be attending classes with first-, second- and third-year Bachelor’s students. Your individual curriculum is printed on the provisional admission letter you have received from your Master’s programme. The Humanities Student Information Desk will register you for all your courses. 

The course descriptions (including study materials) are available in the Course Planner. You can find your class schedule in MyTimetable. The lectures will be held in several different locations. For each course you will receive a course handbook, approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of the course, with weekly schedules, assignments, excursion and course-specific regulations.

Bachelor’s final paper

In most cases, your Pre-Master’s programme will conclude with a Bachelor’s final paper. More information is available at the Media and Culture Bachelor’s website.

Practical information

The BA Media and Culture website provides information about:

Basic knowledge of information and computer technology is a prerequisite for the programme and will be tested. We have developed some ICT modules to help you train these skills.

Through the course descriptions, course handbook and Blackboard, you will be informed about specific rules that apply to the course: planning, attendance, excursions, examinations and resits, etc.

Pre-Master support

Have you just started a Pre-Master's programme and completed an HBO or a WO Bachelor's before that? If so, you might need some support. Check the Pre-Master support page for information on Pre-Master study groups, individual coaching and skills courses.
