The 1st step of our application process for students from another UvA faculty or Dutch university is checking the entry and selection requirements of this Master’s. In your online application you will be asked to upload proof of all mentioned requirements.

Since the Master’s in Business Administration is a popular programme and we want to guarantee an interactive programme, we apply a selection procedure. This means that besides the entry requirements, your application will also be selected based on the selection criteria.

Entry requirements

The Admissions Office will evaluate your application for this programme based on your academic Bachelor's degree, your pre-Master's or academic minor:

If your previous education does not fulfil the above-mentioned requirements, you might be eligible for the pre-Master's programme Business Administration.

Selection 

Meeting the entry requirements alone is not a guarantee for admission. Besides the entry requirements you need to meet the selection criteria. This means that your application will be compared with other applicants. The selection is based on your GPA and motivation letter.  

Track choice

Given the high demand for the programme and our commitment to maintaining an interactive learning environment, it is possible that your preferred track may reach full capacity (which is variable based on teaching capacity and shifting student demand). Therefore you are required to choose 2 tracks, when applying for the Master’s in Business Administration. Should your first option reach full capacity, we check if there is place in your second track choice.  Please note that Digital Marketing and Consumer Marketing cannot be combined for the September intake.

Your eligibility for the programme and track will be determined based on your completed application.

  • After submitting your application we will notify you via email if you are accepted to the programme and  for which track you can enrol.
  • There is also a possibility that you may not be accepted into either track. Admission is competitive, and priority is given to applicants who best meet the selection criteria, which are based on factors such as GPA, motivation letter, and GMAT/GRE scores.
