-
1. Your Grade Point Average (GPA)
If you apply to this programme and meet the entry requirements, you are selected on your GPA. Therefore, you are required to obtain an overall GPA of 7.0. If your GPA is lower than 7.0, we will take your application into account, but you will need good grades on econometrics, statistics and mathematics, all on intermediate/advanced level.
Your GPA should be calculated over:
- all Bachelor's degree results (year 1-3). Any additional Bachelor’s courses have to be included as well.
- your Bachelor’s or Master’s, if you have a Bachelor’s as well as a Master’s degree. You need a GPA of at least 7.0 in the Bachelor’s or the Master’s.
