Programmes dictionary: what is studied, who it suits
What is studied in a programme, what do graduates do, who does it suit, which occupations does it open? Open the one that interests you, narrow by score type and length.
The programmes dictionary describes university programmes as more than one line in a preference guide: what is studied over four years, which occupations graduates go into, which interest and competence profile the programme suits. The difference between two programmes with similar names shows when you open their pages side by side in the dictionary.
You narrow the list by score type, length of study and field. If you have completed your inventories, the match rate with your profile sits next to every programme. When you like a programme, you add it to your preference list; from there on it is a matter of score and rank.
What is studied
The programme's balance of courses and its way of teaching are described on the page. Quantitative or verbal, practice or theory: you know this before you choose the programme.
What graduates do
The occupations the programme opens onto are listed with links; you go to each occupation's page and read what a day is like. A programme is not an occupation but a door; the page shows where the door opens.
Who it suits
The interest and competence profile the programme expects is written there; if you have an inventory profile, the match rate sits next to it. You choose it because it fits you, not because your score is enough.
Score type and length
You filter the list by score type and length of study. You tell apart the two-year and four-year forms of the same programme and add the right one to your preference list.
Common questions
How do I tell two programmes with similar names apart?
You open their pages side by side. The balance of courses and way of teaching, the occupations graduates go into and the interest and competence profile the programme expects are written on every page; the difference shows there. You separate the two-year and four-year forms of the same programme with the length filter.
I like a programme; what do I do next?
You add it to your preference list. From there on it is a matter of score and rank: in the list you see that programme's quota, compare your nets with those placed, put the candidates side by side and give the order yourself.
