February intake
Attention:
- TPM masters are designed to start in September. This means that you should take into account that starting in February is no guarantee that the programme will be completed in 2 years.
- February intake is only possible for students with a Dutch BSc degree!
Disadvantages of the February intake are:
- You are not allowed to participate in all courses of the second semester due to prior knowledge requirements
- You do not have a fixed group you can study with and you end up between two cohorts
- You cannot participate in the scheduled profiles as electives because they are only scheduled in the first semester of the second year
- You have to choose a free profile yourself
- You are not eligible for an exchange place abroad
It is recommended to do an internship and wait until September to start your master.
