The examination board for the Faculty of Sciences requires prospective students who are
interested to join the Short Track Master’s Programme at VU University Amsterdam to
fill in the formatted Transcript of Records.
Please take note of the following:
1. This Transcript of Records should be typed instead of written.
2. If your home university has another type credit point system instead of ECTS,
please convert the credit points to ECTS. We will not accept credit points other
than ECTS.
3. Courses should be categorized accordingly within the framework of academic
year, e.g., if you did a master course (4th year course) during your bachelor year
(e.g. 3rd year), please state this course as a 4th year course.
4. Do not fill in double entries, i.e. the same course must NOT be typed in twice in
different academic years. In order to know which year is appropriate, please
refer to point 3.
5. If you did courses in your 5th year, simply add in a new format, but do NOT add
the 5th year courses in the category of other academic year.
6. Possibly when applying for the Short Track Master’s Programme, you have not
completed or taken all courses in your last semester. Please however add these
courses in the list in the appropriate year. In the column grade, simply add
“unknown”.
7. Most importantly, please have this transcript of records verified by an authorized
person at your home university. This document will NOT be accepted by us if it
has not been properly verified.
