Detailed Information of Biophysics in Sport in Netherlands at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

These are the international student eligibility for the Biophysics in Sport in Netherlands

In order to gain admission to the Master's programme Human Movement Sciences, you need to have at least a Bachelor's degree from an accredited research university including at least three full years of aEUROemic study amounting to a minimum of 180 EC or equivalent.

Your Bachelor's programme should include basic knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology at the level of "Introductory textbooks". You also should have obtained sufficient research skills and knowledge of Mathematics and Physics. Please consult thelist of admission criteriafor a more detailed description of the required knowledge before starting applying for this master's programme.

What if you do not meet all admission criteria?
If you do not meet the admission criteria, the Admission board may decide that you are admissible after you have eliminated your deficiencies. These deficiencies depend on your educational background. Students with a Bachelor's degree other than Human Movement Sciences usually have to follow a premaster's programme before they can be admitted to the Master's programme. We have experienced that this is the case for almost all applicants from abroad. For these students, the premaster's programme most likely has a minimum size of three courses. It will take time to complete the programme successfully, we estimate four to six months. The costs of the online courses we prescribe are €204,- per course.

Please contact the Admission board to determine whether a premaster's programme is required and whether any self-indicated courses to eliminate deficiencies are of a sufficient level.

Entry requirements  In order to gain admission to the Master’s programme Human Movement Sciences, you need to have a Bachelor’s degree and basic knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology at the level of "Introductory textbooks". In addition, sufficient research skills and knowledge of Mathematics and Physics are required. Because the master's programme is taught in English, you also need a good command of English as a working language.

Please consult the list of admission criteria

Direct admission  You can be admitted directly to the master's programme, if you have one of the following WO bachelor's degrees: 

  • Human Movement Sciences (VU Amsterdam)
  • Human Movement Sciences (RUG)
  • Premaster's programme Human Movement Sciences (VU)
Direct admission requiring review by the Admission board  If you don’t hold one of the Bachelor’s degrees listed above, but you are confident that you meet all the admission criteria, the Admission board of the department of Human Movement Sciences will decide whether you are indeed directly admissible.
The procedure is as follows: 

  • Apply for the Master’s programme Human Movement Sciences. See the VU website for the application procedure.
  • Upload the following documents in VUnet as 'diploma':

  • If you are not directly admissible, you may apply for the Premaster’s programme, as outlined below. 
Background in mathematics

Although mathematics (Wiskunde B) is not a formal entry requirement, it is expected that your basic knowledge of mathematics is sufficient. If you are not sure about this, please take the Mathematics pretest (in Dutch). If your knowledge turns out to be insufficient, we strongly advise you to get additional mathematical training before entering the premaster's programme.
