Important: The tuition fee

The Dutch government doesn’t fund second

bachelor programmes. Many HBO students who are participating in the

short-track Bachelor’s CS pay the institutional tuition fee of 7600 euro per year.

Carefully consider beforehand which tuition fees apply to your situation. DUO offers more detailed information about this matter.

HBO programme not yet completed?

Then you start the hbo-doorstroomminor / HBO follow-on minor.

The minor is a programme of 30 ECTS and is similar to the first semester of the (short-track) Bachelor’s Communication Science.

No relevant (HBO) programme?

(Possibly) participate in the HBO-doorstroomminor / HBO follow-on minor and (possible) exemptions in the remaining Bachelor’s programme.

The HBO-doorstroomminor / HBO follow-on minor is similar to the first semester of the regular bachelor’s programme. You will request for individual exemptions for the remaining Bachelor’s programme (maximum of 46 ECTS: electives and internship).

An academic programme; why?

Is an academic programme the right match for you? In what way does the WO programme contribute

to your ambitions? What (extra) value does the WO programme add? Do you have an academic attitude?

What do our students say?

WO versus HBO WO

Generate new knowledge/new developments

Analytical skills ask questions

Graduating: writing a research report within frames

More independency There is no (scientifically proven) truth Studying differently, not more Lots of group work

HBO Apply existing knowledge/existing

techniques Rather practical solution-oriented

answering questions Graduating: executive atmosphere in a

company More contact hours Work with the truth (this is how it works)

Why this programme? Extensive preparation for the WO master’s

programme Introduction to all the four domains of Communication

Science Title: Bachelor of Science Location: Amsterdam Graduate School of Communication has a good

reputation

Next to studying there’s also…

readings, career events, study-related activities

Lunch with master’s students Last year’s HBO students
