Part time Masters are normally not possible for international student entrepreneurs. However, in combination with our startup visa program, it now is.

The Netherlands have a special “Startup Visa” that offers international students the opportunity to scale their own business in the Netherlands while they get their master’s degree.

We can assist you as you apply for this visa, so that you are able to stay in the country for the duration of the course, use this time to run your business and build the network you’ll need to establish your company in the local market. We can also help you stay in the Netherlands after the program while you remain in our incubator, until you can apply for permanent residency if desired.

In order to be eligible for the Master’s program (full or part-time), you must hold a bachelor’s (BSc) degree. You can apply with a bachelor’s degree in any field of study, as our program is open to everyone who embraces entrepreneurship. 

In addition, for the master’s program, you must own a business that is ready to scale. The growth readiness of your business and the fit for our program will be determined by an application interview.
