## The pre-master: a tailor-made programme

Depending on your educational background, you may have to follow a pre-master in order to be admissible to the Master's programme. The pre-master for Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a tailor-made package, to ensure your knowledge and skills are on the required level for admission to the master. Moreover, not all specialisations are an option for every previous education. Depending on your previous education and chosen master track, this package contains different courses and/or assignments. Check your initial eligibility on [www.doorstroommatrix.nl](http://www.doorstroommatrix.nl). The deadline for a pre-master application is the 1st of June. For the individual pre-masters and questions, you can contact the study adviser via [studyadviser-bmt@utwente.nl](mailto:studyadviser-bmt@utwente.nl).
