**Application deadline 15 June 2024**  - There are no exceptions


One-year MSc programmes (non-EEA students) 

Non-EU/EEA students have the possibility to do an internship after completing their master nominally. As regulated by Dutch law, you must hold student status and the internship must be related to your studies. For students to maintain their student status and to be able to re-enroll after 1 September of each year, it is necessary to postpone the issuance of the degree. 

 

As RSM acknowledges the importance of an internship, the student will be offered a tuition fee discount. The student will pay the statutory fee of € 2.530 for the academic year 2024-2025 (ultimately the student will only be required to pay tuition for the months they are enrolled). 

You can only do your internship till 30 November 2024, because your residence permit expire on that date. This period of validity CANNOT be extended and means that non-EEA students pay a maximum of three months tuition fees, from September 2024 through November 2024. 

 

NOTE: Application for an orientation/”search year” (Dutch, “zoekjaar”) is not possible during your postponement. This is not university-wise, but this is something that is mandated by the government. For questions, please contact the IND. 

Your residence permit will be valid until 30 November 2024 if a postponement is issued (there is no other solution, it is or a postponement or an orientation/ search year). Students who would like to benefit from an orientation/ search year are thus urged to make appropriate arrangements. For more information contact the RSM Career Centre at careercentre@rsm.nl.
