Linking program
If you have a professional Bachelor’s degree in theology or religious studies, you can enrol in the academic Master’s program of ETF Leuven, by means of a linking program of maximum 48 credits (premaster).
The linking program does not lead to a Bachelor’s degree, but gives you admittance to the Master’s program. Courses from the linking program may be followed simultaneously with Master’s courses. All courses belonging to the linking program are also offered through ETF Open University in English.
The content of your linking program depends on your prior education and on the specialization of your choice. This means that deviations from the standard packages listed below are possible.
