    Hi all !
    I'm also applying to Maastricht Uni.
    Do you think it's possible to apply for both Business & Economics and Business Administration bachelor ?

    Are the grant for international student difficult to get ? What if I have already graduated from High School ? Should I only send my final grade list (e.g. my secondary school diploma) given that i followed the french baccalaureat ? (i'm not french but Non-EU)

    Thanks in advance !

    Is it they leave because they don't like it or they don't pass their exams to be able to stay on?
    From what I have heard there is a mixture of reasons (this comes from the November open day so not a definite answer):
    - the Dutch student finance is not affected if you leave a course within 6 months. So a fair few dutch people I guess figure out that it isnt for them and its a case of get out quick.
    - Some people are mocked by the exams and have to rage quit in frustration
    - Also, bearing in mind this is a relatively well ranked university, its choice to accept most, if not all, applicants means that there has to be some filtering/chaff removal.

    Well, I don't know the answer to that. I know that in the UK you can apply to the same Uni for different courses but applying to the same uni for 2 different courses makes you seem like you don't know what you want to do.

    Yes, but this is not weird not knowing exactly what you want to do when you're 18.
    Plus Economics and Business and Econometrics ... It's not like you hesitate between law and astronomy.

    Ya i know.
    But wouldn't you be better off just emailing the uni? How do you know that the people here have the right information?

    I know that for RSM it's possible to apply to both IBA and IBEB program (did you do it btw ? ) so i think it's not a problem for Maastricht if you can clearly justify your choices.
    I'm just intrigued to notice that anybody did it here ... :confused:

    I don't know anyone that has, and if I did know the answers to your questions, I would have answered, honest!

    FML...

    In the time you have spent trying to ask the (current) applicants, who dont have any affiliation with the university, you could have emailed the uni and got a response.

    On another note, finally got around to uploading my ALevel certificates. :cool:

    I applied for both the IBA and IBEB courses in Rotterdam. I emailed them about applying to two different courses and if that would put me in any disadvantage against applicants only applying to one course. The university replied that I would not be put on any disadvantage since both of these programmes have different admission officers (since IBA is a course offered by Rotterdam School of Management whereas the IBEB course has nothing to do with RSM). I just had to send 2 different motivation letters.

    Hello people, on the website when I log in it says that I'm "admissible" for the course, and that I should hear from them soon. It's been like two weeks now! Do you think I should contact them? It also says that I need to fulfill the conditional requirements but I have no idea what those will be (I do the IB).

    Ya it says the same for me.
    Did you receive an email saying that you application has been submitted into the Decentralized Procedure?

    Nope the email just said that I'm eligible for the course on the condition that I meet "all possible additional requirements", and I don't know what those are. It seems like now I just have to "register" for the course, but I'm not sure how.

    Email them with you Student Id and ask what you need to do next.

    Did the email say you have to meet the legal requirements?
