Linguistics: Language and AI (pre-master)

Toekomst
Does your previous education not fully meet the admission requirements for the Master’s programme Language and AI? For example, because you have a higher professional education (HBO) diploma, or because you have completed a university Bachelor’s degree but you do not have the linguistic background for this Master’s programme.

Then you can apply for admission to the pre-master’s programme in Linguistics. The Admissions Committee will assess whether you meet the admission criteria.

Check whether you meet the admission requirements and apply.

VU Online Master's Event

Thursday 26 November 2026

More information about the event

  • Admission requirements

    With a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics you can enter the Master's in Linguistics: Language and AI directly. If you followed related Bachelor’s study programme (for instance English Language and Culture or Translation studies) and your programme included an introduction to linguistics and courses on syntax, semantics and morpghology, you may also be directly admissible to the master’s.

    If you followed another master’s programme you can be admitted to the study after successfully completing the pre-master's Linguistics: Language and AI. The Admissions Committee assesses each application and will determine whether you are admissible to the pre-master's programme.

    In all cases, the pre-master's programme, which is determined by the Admissions Board, can only be started in September.

  • Sign up

    Do you meet the admission requirements? Then apply for the pre-master's program.

    1. Apply for the pre-master's program in Studielink no later than 1 June.
      After registering in Studielink, you will receive login information for your VU Dashboard.
    2. Complete your application in your VU Dashboard. Complete the application form and upload it in your dashboard.
      If you are a student of the School of Humanities, you do not need to submit an application form. However, you should complete the application by choosing "upload later".
    3. Upon receipt of your application, your admission request will be processed and you will be notified whether you have been admitted or must first meet additional requirements. If you are not admitted, you will receive a notification with the exact reason.
    4. Arrange payment of tuition and complete your enrollment by August 31.

    An application is not the same as an enrollment. When you register for a program in Studielink, you are not yet enrolled. You are only enrolled when you receive notification from Studielink. To this end, you must have submitted all required documents by 1 June (or as soon as possible thereafter) and arranged payment of tuition fees by August 31 at the latest.

    An application, or request for admission, commits you to nothing and can be cancelled free of charge until August 31.

    View the application process page for more information
