Section 4 Admission

Article 4.1 The language of instruction

1. In accordance with Article 7.2 of the Higher Education and Research Act (WHW), modules must be taught and examinations set in Dutch. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous sentence, a different language may be employed if:

a. it is a degree programme concerning that language

b. it concerns teaching provided within the framework of a visiting lectureship or by a lecturer who does not speak Dutch

c. the specific nature, design or quality of the degree programme or the origins of the students necessitate this, in accordance with the code of behaviour drawn up by the board of the institution.

Article 4.1.1.c applies to all Research Master’s programmes.

Article 4.2 Entry requirements

1. Students with a Dutch or foreign certificate of higher education that indicates that they have the following knowledge, understanding and skills shall be admitted to the degree programme:

a) a BA degree in Linguistics

provided they satisfy the following entry requirements:

b) sufficient knowledge of English to be able to follow the degree programme successfully1

c) sufficient knowledge, understanding and skills in the academic disciplines relevant to the degree programme2

d) sufficient ability to follow the programme.

2. Admission within the meaning of Article 4.2.1 entitles students to register for the degree programme.

Article 4.3 Admissions Board

1. Admission to the degree programme is at the discretion of the Admissions Board. This Board consists of:

- a member, also the chairperson, selected from the professors who will teach the degree programme

- two members selected from the academic staff who will teach the degree programme. 2. The Admissions Board will nominate a secretary from among its members.

3. The nomination will be confirmed by the Board of Examiners, who will also set out the admissions procedure.

Article 4.4 Registering for the Colloquium Doctum (Entrance examination) Students register for the admissions procedure by sending the following documents: - a completed registration form

- a curriculum vitae

- an overview of the results achieved so far within the Bachelor’s degree programme and/or other university degree programmes

1 This requirement shall be met by:

- passing a language proficiency examination with a TOEFL score of 620 or above, or IELTS 7 or above - a mark of 6 or above in university-entrance level English (VWO level).

2 Sufficient knowledge, understanding and skills means that in the opinion of the Admissions Board, the student will be able to follow the

(12)

- a letter outlining the prospective student’s motivation for selecting the programme, including his or her expectations and interests

- if possible, written results of previous research, such as academic articles or a BA thesis

- two personal recommendations from relevant experts3

- other documents, if required, which in the opinion of prospective students will highlight their eligibility for the programme.

Article 4.5 Admissions procedure for the degree programme

1. Bearing in mind the admissions procedure for the degree programme within the meaning of Article 4.2.1, the Admissions Board shall assess the knowledge and skills of the candidate. The Admissions Board will assess the written documentation and determine whether the prospective student can be admitted directly to the programme. In the event of doubt, the student will be invited to an admissions interview. The interview will be based on the submitted written documentation and may comprise an approx. 15-minute presentation on an academic subject related to the chosen PhD programme.

2. If, on the basis of the submitted documentation, the Board is of the opinion that the student does not qualify for admission and that there is therefore no need for an interview, the student will be notified accordingly before 1 June. This is a provisional decision only. Prospective students may still request an interview, provided they do so within 15 working days. If prospective students do not avail themselves of this option, the provisional decision will become definitive. In the case of prospective students who are granted an interview, a formal decision will not be made until after the interview has taken place. Rejections will in all cases be substantiated in writing. Students who have been interviewed will be notified by 1 July whether or not they have been accepted.4

3. Students who have not yet obtained their Bachelor’s degree at the time of the selection procedure but who would normally do so before the Research Master’s degree programme begins may be granted provisional admission. This is based on the assumption that they a) obtain their BA degree in time, b) have written a BA thesis with the required level to follow the Research MA.

4. Students who already have a relevant university Master’s degree may also apply for admission to the Research MA programme. The procedure as set out above will also apply to them. If they are admitted, the Board of Examiners will decide whether they can be granted exemptions on the basis of that Master’s degree (up to a maximum of 60 ECTS credits).

Article 4.6 Colloquium Doctum: times

1. The Colloquium Doctum will be held once a year for the degree programme which will commence in the first semester.

2. Requests for admission to the degree programme must be submitted to the Admissions Board before 1 March (foreign students) or 1 May (Dutch students).

3. In exceptional cases, the Admissions Board may decide to consider a request at a time other than that referred to in Article 4.6.1.

4. The Admissions Board will decide before 1 June. Admission will be on condition that the candidate has satisfied the requirements set out in Article 4.4 concerning knowledge and skills by the starting date of the degree programme at the latest, supported by certificates from the degree programmes followed. The written admission statement will include information for the student about the possibility of an appeal to the Board of Appeal for Examinations.

3 These are written reports, from people recognised as experts by the Admissions Board, that present a useful and reliable picture of the student’s

eligibility for the degree programme.

(13)
