Politics, Policy and Societal Development

Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.

• ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
• Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.

Pastaba:

Stojant į Politics, Policy and Societal Development programą papildomai reikia pateikti:

• Course Description
• Statistics checklist

SVARBU: anglų kalbos testo sertifikatą privaloma pateikti kartu su visais dokumentais, atsiunčiant anketą. Universitetas nesvarsto stojimo anketų be anglų kalbos testo rezultatų, todėl sertifikatą privaloma pateikti iki stojimo pabaigos. Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:

• IELTS – 6.5, ne mažiau nei 6.0 iš kiekvienos dalies
• TOEFL – 90

• A Bachelor’s and/or a Master's degree in social sciences, e.g., Sociology.
  You can apply for admission BEFORE you have graduated, but you must graduate by September 1 at the latest. If you graduate after September 1,  please contact your International Admissions Coordinator at admissions-tsb@tilburguniversity.edu before you apply to avoid disappointment.

• Sufficiently conversant in the social sciences, e.g., knowledge of and practice in the application of (key) questions of sociology and of classical and modern sociological theories; basic knowledge of other social sciences, e.g., psychology and economics;

• Adequate knowledge of social science statistics and research methods.
