Legal claim

If you are studying a bachelor degree at CBS, you can find information about legal right of admission to a master's programme. You can also see which master's programme is the natural progression for your bachelor degree.

3-year legal claim to admission to a master’s programme at CBS

You have a legal claim to admission to a master’s programme at CBS if you apply for the programme that is the natural progression to your CBS bachelor’s degree within 3 years of finishing your bachelor’s degree. Read below for more information.

The legal claim can only be used once during those 3 years.

If you finish your bachelor in 2023
If you finish your CBS bachelor degree in 2023, you can use your legal claim in  2023, 2024, 2025 or 2026.

If you are applying for admission to your legal claim master programme in 2023 or later, you will use your legal claim if you accept the place you are offered.

If you have accepted a place in a programme other than your legal claim master programme, you will still retain your legal claim to your natural progression programme for 3 years, or until you graduate from a master programme.

How many programmes can I apply for?

Each applicant is allowed to have three priorities at CBS per application round. If a master’s programme has more than one concentration, then each concentration you select from the Application Portal counts as one application. You will be asked to prioritise your applications if you try to submit more than one.


How to prioritise your applications
If you fill out more than one application, you must prioritise your applications before you can submit your second application. Make sure to prioritise all your applications carefully, assigning high priority to the programmes or concentrations you are most interested in.

We will process your applications in the order assigned by you and we will always offer you a study place at the highest priority possible.

You cannot change your priorities after the application deadline. Once you have received a study place offer, your remaining lower priorities will be closed and you will not be able to switch to a lower priority programme or concentration.


Legal right of admission to MSc in Business, Language and Culture

MSc in Business, Language and Culture has two concentrations. If you have legal right of admission to MSc in Business Language and Culture, you are not guaranteed a study place at a specific concentration. Each concentration has a limited number of places, and maximum capacity can be reached if too many legal claim applicants apply for the same concentration.

As an applicant with legal right of admission to MSc in Business Language and Culture, you can apply for both concentrations and in addition to those, you can have two more applications.
