Student Profile

Mike Kock

The Master’s programme Accounting and Control challenges me to look beyond the borders of the profession. In the bachelor the focus was more on "what is" and now we focus on "why is".

The relation is really close, because we are with 10 to 30 students in class. The teachers know who you are, and you are enabled to ask questions and lead discussions.

The Master’s programme focusses on many research papers. These papers can be really though and sometimes boring. So, you have to have a strong motivation to read these papers.

During the bachelor on the HAN (University of applied science) I already did two internships, which was really interesting. I did not start to write my thesis yet.

The Master’s programme is really important for developing your skills. You become very critical in your profession and you can look to issues from different purposes. This is really helpful when you will work in complex organisations. In the future I would like to work at a Big Four company as an auditor.

Scholarships

The Radboud Scholarship Programme is a very selective scholarship programme. It offers talented, highly motivated, non-EEA students with outstanding study results the opportunity to be awarded a scholarship for a complete English-taught Radboud University Master’s degree programme.

Scope of the programme
Each year, a number of partial scholarships are awarded within the Radboud Scholarship Programme for the duration of one of the English taught Master's degree programmes (with the exception of Erasmus Mundus Master's programmes and joint-degree Master's programmes).

A Radboud Scholarship will reduce your tuition fee to the legal fee (EU/EEA) instead of the institutional fee (non-EU/EEA).

Value of Scholarship(s)

Partial scholarships (legal instead of institutional tuition fees)

Eligibility

- Hold a non-EU/EEA passport
- Are not eligible for the lower EEA tuition fee for other reasons

- Have been (will be) fully admitted to the English-taught Master's degree programme starting 1 September

Application Procedure

You can apply by indicating during your application for admission for a Master's programme at Radboud University that you wish to apply for a Radboud Scholarship. You will then be requested to upload three additional documents: two reference letters and a curriculum vitae, if you have not already done so for the Master's programme application.

The selection for the scholarship and the admission to the Master's programme are two separate processes: admission to the Master's programme does not imply selection for the scholarship.

You must have submitted your application in the OSIRIS system by 31 January 23:59 CET and have it completed by 14 February 23:59 CET.
