Remedy your deficiencies
You want to study a degree programme for which you lack the right profile subjects or proper previous ‘mbo’ education. In other words, you have one or more deficiencies which you will need to remedy.
Deficiencies can be remedied as follows:
- by obtaining a modular certificate:
- at an educational institute / distance learning institute
- through adult education / evening classes
- at a private education institute
- by means of independent study and taking the state exam (apply before 1 January). For more information, please contact the student counsellor of your school.
Economics or ‘M&O’ deficiency
Breda University of Applied Sciences offers applicants the possibility to take a deficiency test for economics or ‘M&O’. These tests are administered at ‘havo 5’ final exam level.
Please note: If you have a ‘vwo, C&M’ profile, you will not qualify for an accelerated study track after taking a deficiency test (at ‘havo’ level).
