Evaluation

  • The evaluation of applications starts right after the deadlines for the ReD Global application period. For the application call for the 2027-2029 cohort, new applications will be assessed on a monthly basis, starting in December 2026.
    • Admission is conditional to applicants having satisfied the requirements as set out in the ReD Global Study, Teaching & Examination Regulations (STER), and a positive evaluation by the PEC.
    • Admission is conditional to obtaining the required and certified levels of knowledge, skills and competence, by the starting date of the programme at the latest. In case a visa is necessary these must be obtained by 1 July.
  • The Admissions Office at the University of Groningen assists in the preselection of students. The Admissions Office only evaluates the level of previous education and provides an assessment regarding the suitability of an applicant’s previous education for the ReD Global programme.
    • This Office is considered to be a part of the Local Examination Committee (LEC) Groningen. The PEC will assess whether eligible applicants meet the levels of knowledge, skills and competences that are required for admission to ReD Global.
    • In doing so, they may request (external) expert advice, including to evaluate certain subsets of knowledge, skills and competence. All applicants who have entered the evaluation phase of the admissions procedure will be notified about the PEC’s admissions decision.
  • Applicants will have an opportunity to appeal the PEC’s decision in case they wish to.
