Pre Master at Wittenborg University of Applied SciencesThis is often the case when students have not studied a bachelor's in the domain of economics management or hospitality and tourism, or have followed the bachelor's programme that does not conclude with a research paper or a dissertation.

These students will be advised to take a pre-master's programme before starting the full master's programme.

All students who to prepare their research skills before starting their master's are welcome to follow this 6-month pre-master's programme.

The programme looks at strategic management and economics and has a strong component of research methodology. The pre-master's lasts for six months and is made up of three blocks. Students who successfully complete the programme can stream directly into their chosen master's programme.

The pre-master's starts six times a year, so you do not have to wait until the next academic year to begin your programme. All Wittenborg master's programmes also start six times a year in what is called a carousel entry system.
