Get prepared
Start your studies with confidence by preparing well in advance. Check if your knowledge is up to date and find out where you can grow. Online tests and other preparatory tools are available to help you get ready.
Prior knowledge in mathematics
A good foundation in mathematics is essential for succeeding in this programme. It not only helps you grasp new concepts more easily but also ensures you can keep up with the mathematics and statistics courses from the start.
- We offer an online prior knowledge test to help you assess whether your mathematics skills meet the required entry level. The necessary basic skills are listed by topic and illustrated with example exercises. These concepts are considered prior knowledge and will not be reviewed during the courses.
- Not sure if your math skills are up to speed? We recommend reviewing the basics in advance. If you speak Dutch, you can join the preparatory course ‘Voorbereidingscursus Wiskunde voor Humane Wetenschappen’, offered in September.
Language proficiency
A strong command of English is essential for success in the Business Economics programme (consult the language requirements here). You’ll be working with academic literature and textbooks. Want to improve your English before you start? Try reading more in English: news websites, articles, and books are a great place to begin.
Study skills and independence
Studying at university requires a different approach than in secondary school. You’ll be expected to manage a larger workload and take greater responsibility for organising your own studies. Study Guidance is here to support you by offering individual coaching, workshops, and practical tips to help you develop effective study strategies.
