Pre-Master's Program
The Pre-Master's program is a transfer program designed for students from a Dutch university of applied sciences ('hbo' in Dutch) or an international research university who cannot be directly admitted to the Master's program in Industrial Engineering & Management. The goal of the Pre-Master's program is to bridge the gap between the student's current Bachelor's degree and the future Master's degree.
What is a Pre-Master's?
A Pre-Master's is a program that prepares students for a Master's degree by teaching various scientific research skills and raising their knowledge in mathematics and statistics to an academic level.
Admission Criteria
The admission criteria for the Pre-Master's program depend on the student's previous education.
- University of applied sciences (Dutch HBO)
- As a Bachelor's student from a Dutch university of applied sciences (HBO), it is mandatory to follow a Pre-Master's first to prepare for the Master's in Industrial Engineering & Management.
- Students can start the Pre-Master's during their Bachelor's as a transfer minor or after obtaining their Bachelor's degree.
- Social sciences Bachelor's at a Dutch research university (Dutch WO)
- As a social science Bachelor's student of UT or another Dutch research university, students are not directly admissible for this Master's.
- Students can start the Pre-Master's during their Bachelor's as a (transfer) minor or after obtaining their Bachelor's degree.
- Technical Bachelor's at a Dutch research university (Dutch WO)
- As a Bachelor's student of a technical UT or other Dutch research university program, students might not be directly admissible for this Master's.
- Students can start the Pre-Master's during their Bachelor's as a (transfer) minor or after obtaining their Bachelor's degree.
- International education
- As an international student, students can only apply for the Master's directly and do not have the option of participating in a Pre-Master's.
Program Contents
The content of the Pre-Master's depends on the chosen specialization. The Master's in Industrial Engineering & Management has three specializations:
- Financial Engineering & Management (FEM)
- Health Care & Technology Management (HCTM)
- Production & Logistics Management (PLM)

Study Load
The Pre-Master's is a 30 EC full-time study program, which must be completed within one academic year and with a maximum of two exam opportunities per course.
Costs
Students pay a fee per EC, and this Pre-Master's is 30 EC. Each academic year, the amount per EC will be reassessed.
What is Expected of You?
The Pre-Master's is designed not only to address any deficiencies in prior knowledge but also as an effective way to find out whether studying at a research university is right for you. Therefore, the following rules apply:
- Students must complete the Pre-Master's successfully within one academic year.
- There is a maximum of two exams per course.
