**Application deadline 15 June 2023**  - There are no exceptions


One-year MSc programmes (non-EEA students) 

Non-EEA students may pursue an internship in the Netherlands following completion of their curriculum. As regulated by Dutch law, you must hold student status and the internship must be related to your studies. In order 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 € 2.314 for the academic year 2023-2024 (ultimately the student will only be required to pay tuition for the months they are enrolled). The residence permit for non-EEA students is valid until 30 November 2023. This period of validity CANNOT be extended and means that non-EEA students pay a maximum of three months tuition fees, from September through November.
