You have a senior general secondary education (HAVO) diploma or pre-university education (VWO) diploma with a different profile or combination of courses, or you have a first-year diploma or Bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences (HBO) or research university (WO) in a subject that is not related to this degree programme.
