Pre-Master's programme
Steps to take in Studielink to ensure correct registration:
Step 1: Register via Studielink for Pre-master programme
Upon receipt of your admission letter, stating that you are conditionally admitted to the Master’s Programme, the Student Desk will cancel your registration for the Master’s degree programme in Studielink.
As soon as you have received this admission letter, you need to register yourself for the correct Pre-master programme via Studielink. You are urgently advised to do this pre-master registration in Studielink before the 15th July (for September start) or 15th November (for February start).
The Bachelor Student Desk from the Science Faculty will register you for the courses which are stated in your admission letter. They will do this period by period, so registration of the courses in period 1 will occur first. You are, however, responsible for checking in Osiris Student whether the course registration is correct and corresponds with the courses in your admission letter.
Step 2: Complete your Pre-master
You'll receive information about this via the pre-master coordinator. In case of pre-master students of Nano and/or SCC, you can find more information on this page (scroll down)
Step 3: Register again via Studielink for Master's programme
You have to register yourself again via Studielink for your Master’s degree programme as this was cancelled by the Student Desk upon the start of your Pre-Master’s programme. You don’t have to go through the UU application process again. Following a successful completion of your Pre-Master’s programme you will be notified by the Student Desk that you are unconditionally admitted to the Master’s degree programme and they will also confirm your Master’s registration (yet, they can only do so once you have arranged the Master’s registration in Studielink).
You can start with your Master's degree Programme as soon as you have completed your Pre-Master's programme, not before!
This may have implications for those students who start their Pre-Master’s programme in September, only have their courses scheduled in period 1 and 2, and are aiming to start their Master’s degree programme in February. As long as you pass your courses in period 2 in one go, you will be able to start your Master’s degree programme in February. In the scenario that you fail a course in period 2 and have to take a re-sit, then you will have to wait until the September-start of your Master’s degree programme (this as the re-sits of the courses in period 2 are not scheduled until after period 3, which is around April).
