- What is the difference between an academic (wo) bachelor’s degree and a professional (hbo) bachelor’s degree?
Studying for a bachelor’s degree at ‘wo’ (academic) level is fundamentally different from studying at ‘hbo’ (professional) level. Here are the main differences explained:
- In an academic programme, you will do more research than in a professional programme, and you will learn how to use scientific theories and models. What’s more, you will learn to place issues in a broader societal perspective.
- An academic programme prepares you for a strategic role, in which analytical skills and critical reflection are key. A professional programme prepares you for an operational or management role.
- In an academic programme you will do a lot of literature research and write (individual and independent) research reports and papers. In a professional programme, you will often work in project groups with other students on practical assignments.
- A professional bachelor’s degree trains you to work in a specific sector, whereas an academic bachelor’s degree gives you more flexibility, as you will have learned to think and work from a broader perspective.
- Can you start a Master of Science programme before you have completed a bachelor’s degree?
No, that is not possible. Before you can take courses that you want to do in the Master of Science, you must first obtain a bachelor's degree.
- Where do you usually end up after graduation?
Most choose another master's programme after graduation. This can be at BUas, but of course you can pursue a master's programme at universities anywhere at home and abroad.
