After admission
After your admission or conditional admission, you should consider the following activities and actions to be taken.
Intake activities
All students are required to participate in the intake activities organised by the Graduate School of Teaching. This is a condition for admission, so please check your letter of conditional admission. Through these activities, our Graduate School aims to stimulate an ambitious study environment, increase the bond with the Graduate School/programme and prevent dropout. During the intake, the mutual expectations of you and the teachers and the intensity of the programme will be discussed. Intake is not the same as selection: you decide whether you and this programme are a good match.
